This has been bought up a lot in the mm with Neurodiverse section and there are a lot of ats to @mnhq in posts about it (but not sure @ ing works.
Can the Neurodiverse mumsnet section be removed from active?
Alot of people have commented they can't see the nd section warning label at the top when they click through from trending, people commenting not realising what section it is etc, pretty sure the old mn with special needs used to not be in active, there are other boards that aren't included in active, can this be repeated with this section?

RSD makes some of us highly sensitive to criticism and negativity, and it is impossible to discuss issues about adhd and autism on the wider forum.

Having a space where (mainly) women can talk about our experiences is important - there are other sites for ND people but the experience of women is fundamentally different from the experience of men. Many of us have reached middle age without a diagnosis, with our mental health in tatters, and our career potential decimated.

The ND board has huge potential to be a safe space to explore issues. This is right on the coal face of disability awareness. But we need support from MN HQ.

Can you step up?

I'd say is a site coding issue. Either it's coded so badly/ restrictive so they can't. Or won't pay a coder to sort it out.
Or maybe they don't care as the Mumsnet team are all NT?

There's been countless requests for the ND board not to show up in active, to no avail.

I support the cause, but I won't hold my breath as MNHQ haven't listened or acted before 😞
