For the Attention of The National Autistic Society

What is to stop literally anyone from signing up to this website to spread disinformation? What are your safeguards?

There is no automated process so it is down to people to report posts they believe to be spam or abusive.

I don't think they are here to police the accuracy of information however. They can respond is someone is giving dangerous advice about using drugs etc but if it is for political opinions then that is down to freedom of speech.

Can you cite any misinformation that has been spreading recently that is provably incorrect?

I am loathe to continue the wars on here but in this instance, I felt the need to respond, because I'm getting very fed up.

There is a stream of provable misinformation here on the forum for you to read.

However, I will just show you my own (deliberately light hearted) response to one, although I'm amazed that in a forum where a very few posters post conspiracy theories, bigotry and misogyny etc etc you need any citation.

Yes. 

Although... it does seem to have gone rather quiet....
