Thick with the ‘tism – ASD Social Space

Howdy forums fam, it’s your pal Jynx here to start up a new social space specific to folks with Autism Spectrum Disorder. ASD is often marked by unique styles of communication, unique life challenges, and unique perspectives on the world, so I figured it would be awesome to have a space for us to come together to share/chat/support each other!

This space is open to all who identify as autistic, including those who suspect they might be autistic but haven’t gotten a diagnosis, or want to explore the experiences and insights from other autistic folk to understand lived experience of ASD a bit better.

Allistic (non-austistic) members are also welcome, but please do remember to centre the voices of our autistic members and respect their lived experience. We’re not here to debate autism, we’re here to connect in a safe space.

To kick off the conversation I’d like to ask about everyone’s special interests! Mine is D&D – feel free to ask me about it and I’ll talk your ear off!

Please tag anyone you feel would be interested in joining this space!

💜😊👾

Re: Thick with the ‘tism – ASD Social Space

@Shaz51 just in case anyone floating along sees this, thought I'd share a link to where we had a bit more of a discussion about it, as well as the resource that rav3n shared - for anyone else who might be struggling with autistic burnout! 😊

Re: Thick with the ‘tism – ASD Social Space

I'm not sure @Shaz51 Yes I'm Autistic, & yes I'm sort of Burnt out.

But it's trying to navigate the scary, highly confusing NDIS -

Including being literally harrassed by a Service Provider, that's burning me out.

They insisted I sign over several categories of NDIS funding, for their use.

Or leaving me bewildered.🙃
