I was diagnosed with high functioning level 2 ASD about 6 months ago. I started tagging around some online and RL communities, but I quickly noticed that all the autistic spaces I interacted with are mainly geared towards the more severely disabled. Users there are totally infantilized, mods behave like nurses in an assisted living facility.
I understand that higher support people deserve to be protected, but I feel like I am living in a nursing home. Everybody tells me to "unmask", but how can I unmask if I have to walk on eggshells to avoid traumatizing some low-functioning user?
Is there any place that caters only to high functioning people? This forum is just unusable, forums and communities online are dead, and Reddit... well, it's Reddit!
I am open to suggestions

Judge Dredd said:95% of the people here are people that I would avoid in real life. I am already forced to interact with unpleasant people on the job, why should I suffer that during the leisure time, too?

You've been saying this since you 1st joined this forum.
Why do your persist posting here then?
I hate to call you a Troll and I understand that you are suffering but this does look very akin to trolling to me ...
Try to read the first post. I was asking if anyone knew a community more geared towards high functioning people. Maybe I should make a new subreddit
