Creating an online autistic community- not NAS based

Ausomely Autistic

Hi neurokin! I have just been thinking about how we could create another virtual autistic community that is not NAS based and therefore entirely autistic led.

I know there are many other autistic communities online for example on Reddit, Facebook and Twitter but I am not sure these types of communities allow for the depths of discussions we have here.

I would like to keep some of the topics we have in this community but also include others. These could be: Dedicated interests, Autistic Joy, Self care, Work and Employment and any others that you would be interested in.

Who would be interested in this?

Does anyone know how to start building an online community platform?

Thank you!

    I think it's a good idea and thank you for thinking of it.

     has already done similar to this (link in his bio).

    I probably wouldn't join in simply because one form of  'social media' (ie this forum) is enough for me.

    I have been invited whilst here to more than one 'Discord' group but I have declined for the above reason.

    I wish you well and hope that if it takes off you keep us updated.

    I'm firmly within the "better the devil you know" camp in ALL things.

    Not a fan of change, unless I really have to.

    Accordingly, it won't surprise you to hear that I'm a "stick" not "twist" type.
