I have attached two screenshots. One showing the two threads I’m watching, the other the deletion message from the first watched thread which was deleted.
The subjects of the two threads are
(1) Any ‘positive’ autism stories?
(2) Married to someone with Asperger’s: support thread 5
My confusion is that the first was deleted because “the title was not in spirit of the site” Yet thread 2 - which has (IMO) a deeply offensive as it implies all people with Asperger’s are a problem in a relationship (leaving aside the ghastly ableism within the thread) is absolutely fine?
Thread 1 was from a concerned parent who may have used clunky wording but was looking for support - yet she has been deleted. Thread 2 is for concerned partners who can blame every poor behaviour of their partners on autism and that’s all fine?
As an autistic person this makes no sense to me at all and highlights not only ableism within MNHQ but also a deeply inconsistent approach to moderation?
