Hello,
It is fact that being a member of a disadvantaged minority, having suffered traumatic experiences, been the victim of phobias etc. does not entitle anyone to be calculatingly unkind to others, or, even worse, abuse them by baselessly accusing them of hateful criminal activity. Even if in their own mind they feel that they are entirely in the right, when they abuse and hurt others and this has been pointed out to them unequivocally, they ought to own up and apologise. If they cannot find it in themselves to do so, perhaps they should be suspended from posting.
That goes both ways.
Hold on I may be able to help. https://community.autism.org.uk/members/nas83550 on my Bio in a corner near the top it should say connect. the option to DM should drop down from that.
I would if I knew how, despite being a former scientist I do not like computers and digital things in general. I only ever became savvy enough to master computer-based things vital for work.
You will have to forgive me if I have a tough time keeping track of my own conversations with folks after a while I don't always read the conversations of others as they unravel under threads typically as to do so takes up more executive funtioning than I can always afford. But I'm sorry to hear that is the case, my DMs are open, I have a suspicion I know now who you may be refereing to but only based on a single comment I saw, I was unaware of a pattern but I don't want to carelessly speculate in public, would you kindly try open a DM with me, so I may offer proper comiserations privately?
I am a victim, serially, of one poster here.
Who says I was talking about you specifically? That is a weirdly defensive reaction when you yourself did not say you were a victim specifically in your first reply. You said "them" not "me".

How on earth am I to know who you are talking about if you don't say so in the first instance? I'm autistic not psychic.
I have never accused anyone of hateful criminal activity. I try to be helpful on this forum - look at my history of posts - I have only ever been verbally abused here by one person. I have never maliciously misinterpreted anyone's post in order to manufacture hateful accusations. So I do not see where any equivalence exists.
I would go further, if I were ever guilty of baselessly accusing a member of this forum of criminal activity in order to score points in a discussion or to be cruel, and I refused to apologise, I would expect to be expelled and to never be able to post here again. If I were guilty of such wrongdoing I would voluntarily exclude myself in utter shame.
