AUTISTIC PEOPLE ON THE (N.A.S.) INTERNET, AND "HOW-TO" USE IT.

Disambiguating Cynosure
over 6 years ago

I am new to this WHOLE "Internet/post/thread/blog" business... but I am NOT new to being able to write lucidly or how to use computers at all. NAS gives some "rules" but they are not all that clear. Mostly they say that you should do things which 'are okay as if the entire affair were RATED UNDER 15 if it were a classified as a movie'. But AUTISTIC persons like me make mistakes in "INTERNET-MANNER" without realising it... and so this "thread" or whatever invites rules CLARIFYING anything. I hope anyone understands, and "posts" something helpful.
For examples: One *not* stated rule seems to be: DO NOT WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS! But there seems to be no other way to emphasise certain words, e.g. no ITALLICS are available.
Another thing I have noticed is that people are very quick to tap the "unlike" button, but are much less likely to tap the "like" button, even in giving a genuine "Thank You", and yet all "views" are counted anyway.
Lastly, on some devices, "hints and tips" flashes up and then disappears so fast, that it is as if it is only there to satisfy "legal reasons" rather than to be helpful to anyone...
...I also attempt to start this "thread/blog" in apology at anyone I have so far "offended" but I don't know WHY OR HOW I did so!
Thus I also appreciate feedback about "understanding" or "hate" in general - for "AUTISTIC people on the Internet" ONLY (not concerning society in general, please)... For even here, on NAS, there seems to be no-place where Autistic Adults THEMSELVES have a forum... or for those "Autistic 'children' who know how to program a computer"...?

    My other problem is signing in.

    I can only sign in at the top of the page.  When I try to sign in when prompted, such as when replying to a post, it fails.

    That seems like a problem you get on any device, at least with any browser. The whole signing in thing seems a bit clunky - can't think of any other website that needs to think for so long to sign you in...

    Most annoying when you have typed something, forgot to sign in and then press Reply - and it's gone... Suppose everybody has had that one.

    Yep,  including trying to reply to this! Got here from an email notification (pretty personal to my account), pressed reply and promptly got flung out to the sign in screen, it then says 'sorry can't find page' and you have to go rummaging around.

    Beyond frustrating and I don't know anything else that behaves like this.

    So far, all of this is good to bring to light, here.
    if only:
    1- I myself had a faster/bigger device?
    2- If NAS themselves were reading all of this...!?

    I may indeed "start a New Thread" after all... yet NAS themselves should be doing this, surely...

    Again, thank you all, for posting... (puff gasp wheeze)...
