    I look forward to seeing our friends in r/aspiememes join us.

    (And now that I’ve contributed, back to my usual low-communication lurking o_o)

        r/Aspiememes and r/Autism were both places that I really felt that others understood who I was and how I experienced life. it’s great that people are making their way over here!!

    Thanks for the nice community. I’d like to give a small suggestion: to use the link format !community@server instead of the full https link in the relevant communities section in the sidebar, because it makes it easier for people to click on and subscribe themselves, even if they’re from different lemmy instances.

    Example: to use !Autism@kbin.social, instead of https://lemmy.world/c/Autism@kbin.social. The first format will work for people from any server, but the second one will only work for people from lemmy.world.

    This was me with ants for 3 weeks immediately right after finding the AntsCanada channel. Then I forgot about ants forever. Probably for the best, I might have not been their most responsible god.

    I’m so relieved to find this! I’m going to miss r/autism, but I really look forward to making new friends here! Reddit has been something of a coping mechanism and self regulating tool for so long, it’s comforting to know that I have a new home here.

    When I view/c/autism I only see posts that are older than 15 days old. I can see newer posts when viewing “all”. The same bug occurs whether I am in an app or using a browser. Does anyone know who to contact about this? Or is something wrong with my settings? Example

      All neurotypes are welcome, so everything counts! While this community might not be specific to ADHD, there is a lot of overlap between autism and ADHD. Enough so that the co-occurence is often written as AuDHD.

      There are no rules that say users can’t make andy ADHD posts and due to the co-occurrence, other users might find the post relevant, so go for it. If it gets “too much,” we can address is in a mutually beneficial fashion once it comes up. For now, have fun.

      I made a post just for you: https://lemmy.world/post/31269?scrollToComments=true
