Still around- in lurk mode

Feel like I'm a outlier. Somewhat  apart from the rest of you. I regularly check for new posts, but feel unable to contribute.

  • I generally find neurodivergent people, in particular those who are autistic to be very forgiving people. This is the majority of us here. You are doing just fine. Everyone is. Sometimes we require clear feedback to understand we are doing ok as we may not intuitively know. IRL it's perfectly fine to sit on the sidelines and listen, here is different as presence isn't known unless one is productive....but the same principle applies. The way members communicate on here is a bit limited due to the platform. If we could do mood boards, mind-maps, hand drawn notes etc rather than lines of text, this would free up the ways in which communicate. I don't have answers and apologies if I've missed the mark.
