Hi! I see it's a new group (only one member so far).

It's great that you want to form a group. But please consider hosting your group somewhere other than Facebook.

Facebook has a policy of requiring people to use their legal names. Pseudonyms are forbidden. Not everyone follows that policy, of course. People do use pseudonyms on Facebook. However, Facebook occasionally does enforce the policy, occasionally requiring people to submit proof of identity in the form of official photo ID.

IMO, in any online form for autistic people, users should be free to use pseudonyms without violating any policy.

For other reasons to avoid Facebook, please see the thread Who else hates Facebook in the "Members Only" section here on Wrong Planet. See also Why does Facebook have such bad stigma? in the "Social Skills and Making Friends" section.
