Yes.
I noticed too.
I'm usually not comfortable in presentations.
<>
Here, the feeling is always very positive.
<>
Among other things and no offense to British members, however there is a gulf between the informal way of relating that I notice here and what I noticed in the UK.

Apparently there, but only apparently, the welcome was perfect.
Then as I continued I wasn't feeling well
<>
I have written in various forums, including Italian ones and beyond.
In Italy there is a twin of this forum.
Although in some threads it is much more elaborate, I had tested it in the unclear phase.
And I liked it then precisely because there wasn't much interaction and it focused mainly on specific arguments, then both the management changed and it was open to anyone (I was against it, but I knew it right away.

Here, however, you will find very loyal and direct people, some with very high IQs.

*Some very humble despite having high level academic qualifications.

Then you know, in every autistic forum, people want to listen and (read) what others write.
They hardly try to impose their absolute beliefs.
Sometimes I write long posts, but I tend to do it to give information to those who are messed up.

The important goal is to help, inform (if you are able to), and have nice interactions.
I like to learn.
So ok I write what I know, I usually don't write if I'm not very knowledgeable on the topic.
The intent is to learn from others.

Well, perhaps what distinguishes us is humility and honesty.
Something that neurotypicals often lack.
And in any case trying to relate kindly.
<>
I'm not good at writing in English.
So sorry for the mistakes and misunderstandings.
I also struggle with Italian languages because I understand many of them, but I don't know how to write them properly.

Welcome here, and don't be like so many who sign up and disappear after a few posts.
I don't know why, there are so many variables.

Be careful, information on the web is often incorrect.
Pay attention to the certain definitions of the DSM.
Unfortunately, they need to be reviewed and it will take decades before the final ones are reached.
We find ourselves with very simplistic classifications.
And we are not at all.
<>
My diagnosis is very mixed.
From DSM4° and DSM 5°.
<>
They are not the same, and each of us has variables within us.

As a great man of history stated and we are like them...
