I'll try and be succint here. I took a look in some threads, first thing that caught my attention: the userbase seems older. Here in sasu who are used to deal with people that barely turned adults, but in this autism forum people tend to be 35+ mostly, and there's barely new users (most of the accounts are at least some years old).
Other patterns worth of notice: they seem to be somewhat proud of their condition, they seem to be very unconditionally supportive to each other, some commom sense ideas and empty platitudes are overly accepted (there's no luck, you're the sole responsible, your life is inherently worthy, no one is better than anyone, there's anyone for everyone, there's no bad trait it's all subjective etc)
And that leads to another point I deem interesting to mention: in a poll to assess the relationship status of the users, approximatelly 80% said they are/were in a romantic relationship, kinda unexpected to see this in a forum that was supposed to gather people that are usually "social outcasts", but maybe it has something to do with the demography (older adults, as most of them reported to find someone just after 40 yo)

What's your thoughts?

@NaturalBornNEET I remember you stating that ASD means nothing (or something in those lines), and reading that forum I was tempted to agree, a lot of threads consists of "after 40 years, I discovered autism and my entire life made sense/now im feeling empty etc", idk it sounds biased to me, assuming a conclusion and then organizing the facts to match the conclusion

Never understood why anyone would be proud of being autistic. I keep it to my myself unless someone asks. Being autistic stinks. Just my opinion.

the autism label has become quite cliquey as of late. people who define their entire being around a diagnosis. it's great there's a support network for them although feeding each other false hope "oh there's someone for everyone", "no such thing as bad it's all subjective" could possibly make things worse in the long run. the world sucks & is not very forgiving. being coddled by strangers online may give them a false reality of what to expect & plummet their self esteem inadvertently
