    Apparently so. With the roller coaster ride over at Xitter, who knows what works and what doesn’t from week to week?

A general chat and support community for autistic people in the UK.

Community Rules

Think before you post. Is your post relevant to the community?

Is your post autism-related? Is your post UK-related? If ‘yes’ to both, please post. If ‘no’ to either or both, or if you’re not sure, please ask.

Think before you comment.

Please be kind to each other. Please treat everyone with respect. Please be gracious when communications get mixed up.

‘When’ because we are each unique, and while there may be some overlap between some of us in our communication styles, there will also be differences.

Discrimination will not be tolerated.

This includes (but is not limited to) ableism, racism and colourism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ageism, classism, elitism, religious affiliation, weight stigma / body shaming, and diagnosis status (self-diagnosis is valid). Please think before you post and comment, and be kind to each other.

No promotions, advertisements, fundraisers, or surveys without permission.

Make it clear if a post or comment is NSFW (Not Safe For Work).

Use NSFW in the subject line or at the start of a comment as a warning to the community.

Make it clear if a post or comment is potentially triggering.

Use TW in the subject line or at the start of a comment as a warning to the community. TW = Trigger Warning.

Do not promote Autism Speaks.

Community guidelines:

Accessibility

If your post includes a photo, please add alt text to the photo, or include an image description. If your post includes a screenshot with text, please transcribe the text in your post. If your post or comment includes an acronym or abbreviation, please use the full-length version of it in its first instance. For example:

“Your local IAS (Integrated Autism Service) may be able to help with that. There’s a link to IAS is in the sidebar.”

“I had to go through my local CMHT (Community Mental Health Team). The CMHT then did a referral.”

Exceptions: NSFW (Not Safe For Work) and TW (Trigger Warning) - these are common acronyms across Lemmy; NHS (National Health Service)

Respect

Please respect others’ privacy. Please do not reshare anything from this community, without the original poster’s permission. Please do not post screenshots of private messages, or screenshots of posts from private communities to this community without the original poster’s permission. Please do not send private messages without consent. It is okay to comment, “Can I send you a message?” or “Please feel free to message me about this.”

Trigger Warnings

Trigger warnings help to add a level of consent to posts and comments. By adding a trigger warning, you indicate that the content beyond it may not be safe or suitable for everyone. You must add TW as a trigger warning for potentially triggering content.

You can also make it easier for readers to choose whether to keep reading by adding the type of trigger to your warning. Adding the type of trigger is optional. You can read more about types of triggers in this article from Medium.
