Neurodiverse Mumsnetters
This board has made me feel less alone

I only joined here a few days ago but I already feel less alone and for me, it's a safe space to come and read others experiences and also offer my own insight if it's something that I can relate to. I have felt pretty isolated my whole life with autism and it is just so great to finally find somewhere with such a great community of people who really understand. Often I will think about posting something and someone else has posted the very same thread. Thanks everyone for this great space ❤

Welcome to the board! It feels like a safer place relative to elseware on Mumsnet in that I feel I can talk about difficult or contentious topics without either having them take the bullet train to Shitpost central or else get womansplained to about how I must suck since I occationally have typos.

It's like the opposite of AIBU. I have no doubt that people will be vociferous in terms of argument and full and frank exchanges of views will happen here but less bullshit like crap, unfunny jokes and [appropos of nothing] 'ooooh you've got a typo, there for you are STUPID'.

I don't want NTs not to read or post here - I hope that some find it a useful place since there is so much in the way of myths and misinformation here.
Thing is, I'm not averse to NT people asking honest questions but that they must expect honest answers. To me, there are parallels to this board and the Black MNetters board - I might read it but will need to think very carefully about asking questions there.

Anyone else notice that there is a lot less tolerance for girls and women to be wierd than boys?
Wierd boys were more tolerated as it was more expected that boys would be wierd if anyone. But girls being wierd must either want attention, want a boyfriend or else are just and Outside Context Problem that should be contained and destroyed.
At least here I can hang out with fellow OCPs.
