So cut me some slack because what I'm about to say is likely to annoy some people but it's not an accusation against any one as such. But don't you get tired with the threads here. 60% seems to be parents going 'my child X please help.' Even if you restrict yourself the autistic adults forum so much of it is so trivial and boring every day. I've started clasifing the difrent classes of boring threads I'm reading, they are so predictable.
Threads I miss seeing and that seem to be getting rarer:
I'm not saying everything has to be like a oxbridge debating sociaty but it would be nice if we could have a few more meaty discussions around here. I'm surely not the only one who feels that way?
Didn't the controversial opinions and current affairs threads cause a lot of controversy, deleted posts, people leaving etc? I think autistic people tend to hold opinions very strongly and have a strong sense of justice. It seemed like a lot of people just couldn't handle that people have a different opinion about certain topics, and thought that people shouldn't even be allowed to voice such opinions.
There is now a kind of atmosphere of walking on eggshells around here. People are afraid to discuss things, but at least it's calm (or boring, depending on how you look at it).
Freedom of speech. Donald Trump for instance or Putin's lies? This requires deep psychology
