What do you like best about the forum

The level of connection I feel with my autistic community that I don’t feel anywhere else.

The sense of deep belonging, which has given me more confidence in my autistic identity.

The empathy we share for each other. The intuitive understanding meaning there is no need to explain our autistic experiences- you just get it.

Helping my neurokin by sharing advice and personal experiences.

The autistic humour usually about everyday interactions with other neurotypes.

The fact that our responses to each other are usually like essays.

 I love how everyone in this autistic community is so friendly and passionate about our dedicated interests.

Feeling like I have found my autistic tribe.

Learning from each other.

Sharing mutual passions.

Our autistic culture.

I love being part of this autistic community, it is so meaningful for me. Thanks for starting a great discussion.

During talks and debates I regularly say. Ok I will shut up now!
