Story of my life. I was diagnosed with Aspergers in 2013 the year the DSM got rid of it.
I do agree that forums are more autistic friendly precisely because you do not have to reply immediately. I reply in comments sections. For most articles if you do not comment within a day of it being published nobody will read it. In a forum the topic will be bumped up.
As a person with executive dysfunctions there being less postings now is a good thing.

I signed up in February, 2014. I didn't make my first post until a month later.
Actually, it was 2 weeks later. It just felt like a month.
I lurked for 2 weeks while I was being assessed. I signed up the day I go diagnosed and delved right in.
