Hi lemmy.world/c/autism,

We’re autistic and don’t believe in hierarchies. Here’s a 22-minute infodump on it: https://youtu.be/cuflpEQlFQk

This is your community, so we want this place to be your internet home, where you can be free to be your autistic true selves: share your interesting special interests, have meltdowns, be direct, expect others to be direct back, seek support for supposedly simple matters, make mistakes and receive compassionate feedback, be silly, and most importantly, feel included.

As moderators, we need your help. What do you want from the moderation team of /c/autism? Tell us freely. Don’t worry about upsetting us, saying the “wrong” thing, being “too much”, or whatever other unfair lessons we have been taught by society for being us. It’s okay. We get it. Talk to us so we can make this the best autism community we can make!

Some tips

Go to your favorite Lemmy communities, kbin magazines, subreddits, online forums, etc., see what you like about them, and then tell us to see if we can implement that here. Find what’s missing elsewhere that we could include here. Have discussions on our chat to brainstorm. Tell us more tips so we can add them to this list. Yours truly, The moderation team

    r/autism sub is very ableist towards high support needs people, maybe don’t do that.

      We definitely do not want to be ableist towards high support needs people. Any recommendations on how to prevent that?
