What does the community mean to you?

Hi all,
 
You're probably aware that our online community is funded by charitable donations. To raise money for our services, such as our online community, it's helpful to let people know the difference a service can make. 
 
If you've got a few minutes, it'd be really helpful if you could let us know what our community means to you. We'll be using the responses here as part of future fundraising appeals, but it'll be anonymous. If you do comment here, I'll take it that you're happy for us to use your responses. Alternatively you can let us know by email  - mystory@nas.org.uk
 
 
Some news
-We're evaluating private messaging at the moment to see if it's feasible. I'm very much up for having this functionality, but there's a few hurdles. 
-We're in the process of training new moderators, which should help with the spam/research posts.

    I'm a newbie here, but I'm glad the forum exists. Over the past 2-3 years, I've come to recognise that I am on the Spectrum. So much in my childhood and earlier years clicks into place. I don't have a formal diagnosis, and remain a switherer as to whether that's a route I should pursue; but it's good to feel part of a wider community. I remember when I outed myself in another online community, someone else remarked that he'd already guessed a long time ago, because of the way I write, and said, "Welcome to the tribe!" I want to be able to say "Welcome to the tribe!" to others, so that we can all work to help each other navigate a world that's largely designed for a different OS to the ones we run on.
