Welcome to /r/autistic. For discussion, teaching, engaging exchanges, self-advocacy, advice and support, and for those whose curiosity has carried them to different shores.

--

**Rules**:

* Remember [reddiquette](http://www.reddit.com/help/reddiquette)
* Absolutely no sympathy for supremacist ideology which forces a narrative (Autistic or NT) e.g., able-ism.  
* No libel, no concern trolling and no flaming. Don't promote destructive behaviors in yourself and others.
* Keep it PG13. Talk on sex, alcohol and drugs is not prohibited, but avoid explicit detail.

* Strict rule: No pity parties. Asking for advice is encouraged. Sympathy threads and sharing experiences are encouraged. Blaming Autism for life failure is not. It creates the conditions for toxic arguments and self-loathing.

A slip is OK, but repeat offenders and those baiting people into breaking the rules will be dealt with judiciously.

This is first and foremost a forum of intellectual exchange for mutual benefit.
