This is exciting! I've only ever lurked on autism forums before but I really like the friendly vibe here. Looking forward to seeing this place grow. 👍

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!!

Just discovered that my comment gets deleted as I type it if my phone switches screen layout, so let's try this again: This has been my exact experience. I went from my kids jokingly saying "Yeah, I think Dad's just autistic" to me finding the r/autism subreddit and relating way to hard with folks there, to discovering self-assessment RBQ-2, AQ, RAADS-R, SQ, EQ, and CAT-Q tests that all spelled things out plain as day, to my kids being like "Yeah, Dad. We were weren't joking. We meant that you are actually, literally autistic".

I understand myself better because of r/autism, and I've learned to have more patience and understanding for myself. I've found my people.

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/...

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.

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.

Same! Mind if I ask what your name was over there? Mine is the same here as there! I hope all of our Reddit friends can make it over here. Reddit is rapidly turning into an unsafe place.

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

Does it only happen in our community?? I have no idea what that could be. I would post on !support@lemmy.world asking for help. Let me know what they say.

I don't know. I haven't been on lemmy for very long. I was viewing a post on another instance and wanted to comment, but needed to switch to my lemmy.world instance. I didn't see the post, so I went to the community page. That's when I noticed the bug. I know that some other communities that I've clicked on haven't had this problem. But some have the same error. I know that I was looking at another community to decide if I wanted to subscribe and all of the most were a month old or older. I just assumed that the community wasn't active anymore or that a mod had deleted posts. I'll check out the support page you linked. Thank you.
