What is the purpose of this forum?

Is it a place for 'free speech' irrespective of the feelings of others (as I read recently)?

Is this a place to vent, support, discuss (about any subjects in life).

Should subjects be primarily about autism as I have read here recently?

Is it's purpose mainly social as I have also read here recently?

I would actually like to know if there is anything written by NAS about this.

  • I agree, and I use this site only for these purposes: discussion about autism challenges, sharing experience related to our autistic traits, sharing my creativity (sorry, it's not necessarily related to autism) but maybe little, the owl from my story has autistic traits and loves infodumping about space. I'm sorry if posting these pictures is inappropriate for this forum. But I'm happy about people posting their creativity here, often related to their intrest.

    I usually ignore political discussions, recently I saw that there was a post about banning burqa. It's probably about banning it in UK? But it has nothing to do with autism, I have no strong opinion about it and I think it may hurt someone who wears burqa, came here for support for themselves or someone else and finds out, that they are actually not welcome here. Autism affects people of all races, origins, religions, etc.
