Other online forums for autistic adults

Hi Sunflower,

I tried Wrong Planet, but didn't get on with it.  Apart from here, I also use a couple of groups on Facebook:  'Asperger's Syndrome Awareness' and 'Adults with Asperger's Syndrome 2' (not sure what became of 1!).  They're quite good - and, of course, worldwide.  Some very supportive people on there.  I also belong to 'Asperger Island' on Facebook, but that tends to be a little juvenile.  I was in 'Just Aspies, Please', but left that as some of the commenters could be a bit harsh.  Might have been trolls, though.  There are a couple of other groups I've tried, but the ones I mentioned seem to be the best.

I still come here out of preference, though.  It's a smaller community, which I like.

That's helpful to know - I'm always on the point of deleting my FB account but maybe I'll leave it for a while just in case. 

I deactivated my main FB account after that problem with my work colleague (work and FB are a bad mix).  I have another account, under a pseudonym, with just a few close 'friends' who migrated with me.  I hardly use it, though.

I think that's a very credible future scenario.  A form of social control that, ironically, we all buy into when we purchase our smart phones and start using them for just about every aspect of our lives.
