What on earth has happened to the forum?

I havn't been on here for a few weeks and logged on and was pretty shocked to find the forum has a completely new layout in every possible way.

The old layout had been in place for many years and now it has been completely changed for no apparent reason. 
I come to this place as a reassuring place of safety and continuity in an ever changing world

Given how famously we autistic people enjoy change (sarcasm) I just wondered whose idea it was to competely change a forum for autistic people at the National Autistic Society.

I do wonder how much the people who run the NAS really understand about actual autistic people. Perhaps it would be better if the people who ran a society for autism were actually autistic
