Autopia! My creation of an online autistic community!

Ausomely Autistic

Hi neurokin! 

Thanks so much for our discussion earlier about creating another online autistic community which is entirely autistic led! I have started to create an initial forum using Proboards (which was kindly suggested to me) with different topics.

Here is the link if you are interested:

https://autopia.freeforums.net/board/1/general-discussion

Any feedback?

What do you think about the topics I have created?

Thank you!

Obviously I will continue to develop and work on it but I am just looking for initial thoughts.

    Thanks for clarifying, of course I will ask the authors before reposting any content.

    I have since updated the forum with boards:

    What do you think?

    Q1 I was starting to go down that route, then realised how poor mannered that would be.

    Q2 So I thought it would be better if you at least asked the Authors...

    I'm also minded that this place is alledgedly due to change platorm and has issue a three year IIRC cut off point, so people might LIKE some of the old stuff to be preserved.

    Thanks for your feedback, I would be very grateful for some feedback or advice from you!

    What do you mean by this? I have interpreted this to mean that maybe it would be a good idea to save some informative posts from this site to make them accessible to everyone. Am I right?

    MAYBE, you could trawl though this site and personally select posters who might want their helpful words kept more accesiblly? I know I would (if I had the discrimination and stamina to sift through my stuff and sort the wheat from the chaff). 

    Can you clarify this suggestion as well please?

    Thank you!

    About your forum...

    I have "walked the walk" of Autism (largely un-diagnosed, admitttedly) and arrived a a point that seems to be reasonably happy and well-adjusted compared to many, after a long period of trial and error investigating.

    I looked at some of your headings and felt, "I could enter useful input there" but I am keenly aware that my particular experience based perspective does not sit well at all with some of the more naive and vocal minds, and I genuinely don't know whether I'd enhance or spoil the place, but those categories are awful tempting, and some look like they could be places where people who have a bit of a clue can put down some useful guidleines and advice that will STAY ACCESIBLE.

    MAYBE, you could trawl though this site and personally select posters who might want their helpful words kept more accesiblly? I know I would (if I had the discrimination and stamina to sift through my stuff and sort the wheat from the chaff).
