Anyone who uses this website:

Have you thought about making an autism-centered kin or chatroom in LOTRO?

I've been thinking about it myself for a while simply because I keep landing myself in trouble in other ''neurotypical'' led kins...

Would there be any interest? I'm more leaning towards a chat channel then a kin/clan personally.

"I've been thinking about it myself for a while simply because I keep landing myself in trouble in other ''neurotypical'' led kins... "

That sentence intrigued me:-

How have you landed yourself in trouble? Were the others in the kin awkward/nasty/horrible/rude to you?
I play LOTRO. I have no diagnosis of Asperger's etc but do support/help people who have. Your answer might help me help those who have trouble online and/or ingame (not necessarily LOTRO of course) :)

(Although I have come across some rude kins in LOTRO tbh 8O )

I have played it before, never got higher than level 25 because I felt it was too similar to WoW and eventually bored me as much as I wanted to love it because of the setting.

I like the idea of an autism based kin. Though for me it doesn't need to be exclusively for autists but should be open to anyone who has trouble with social interaction IRL and online. And would like a kin where competition is not the main drive. A place where giving support and taking some extra time in explaining where needed is not looked down upon. I haven't played LOTRO for some time but I would love to be part something like that.
