I'm sure there's no malicious intent or any potential for harm in this case (especially given that NAS's rules prohibit us from disclosing our real identities here), but just a note to be careful, in general, about taking part in fun polls like this on other websites (eg social media).

Surveys, quizzes and polls can be used as social engineering tools by bad actors to gather sensitive personal data (eg about our date of birth) that can then be used for illicit purposes. As autistic people, we can tend to be more naive than many, so it's good to be aware of the security risks.

This had never crossed my mind, until now. Fair point.
