I just see so many threads/themes on here that repeat themselves:-
Workplace, home, school, etc - issues, questions, etc
Diagnosis experiences
Traits - Touch, Taste, Smell, Visual and Audio
How can something so simple as an easy reference (dare I say electronic encyclopedia) for everyone by everyone be so Noughties with a forum?
If I want to create something on Stimming then I have no way to do that without it disappearing down the forum lists and someone in a month or two will ask similar things.
Many of us are quite geeky with electronics and computers and would probably be quite happy supporting a useful knowledge base/book with easy access.
Simply using a worthy fourm would help. This forum really aint fit for purpose. To me its more like what we used in the mid nineties.
TRULY aweful folks! Come on NAS. Get with it please
It is easy to build your own forum way better than this thing. Problme is though - youll not have the NAS 'framing effect' to blagg that ist is a worthy site :)
I do wonder if the forum runners and mods on here are actually school kids?

Greetings. This is a very good Point often raised yet not replied to by NAS in any way. Have a look at this Thread:
https://community.autism.org.uk/f/miscellaneous-and-chat/14616/anyone-else-having-issues-with-the-website/
...This is/was the latest Thread for stating such troubles. (There is also similar discussion about how 'easy to use' this Forum could be...)
With regards to SEARCH:
At the Top of the page, there is to the Right, an Icon of Three Horizontal Lines. Click upon this and many options appear including a Search Box.
Alternatively try this Link:
https://community.autism.org.uk/search?q=
...And if it works (!!), click upon the word "Advanced Search" which will take anyone to a search screen showing "0 results", and one must click upon the Three lines to get the Search Box again.
...A few Months ago, this was a lot easier to find and do... but since the re-branding, the Search Box is now hidden, along with a lot of other options. Now I shall close this Post upon the often said: "Hope this helps"...!
Mmm, there does NOT appear to be a search function. Back to Autipedia then!
sorry it’s not called that anymore is it, but you know what I mean!
In fact I wonder... I like to write. Imagine there’s many other do too since this is how we like to communicate! Can you search the forums here for topics. If could (must be possible, I just haven’t looked), it would be possible to collate some thoughts. Maybe for eg Aspergers United? If done anonymously would there be issues with that - wouldnt have to use things verbatim. If people are still around of course could ask them and even collaborate (somehow...) on writing anyway.
Autipedia? I have no skills to create such a thing, but would happily contribute! It’s a good idea.
Go for it then... You have stitched yourself up with a job here me thinks...
