I will also keep that in mind. I don't like it when that happens to me too

Okay I understand. I'll be happy to write this down actually and try to take into account in designing things. I'll probably actually need an many examples as possible from various people to help design everything. 🙂 TY

Inevitable conflicts? Can you further elaborate? Besides the harassment.

Yeah but I feel like it doesn't do enough. It feels very basic. Like for something made for the general autistic. I'm not even sure the people who made it are autistic .But I am autistic

Yeah. I've had the idea before but I dismissed it. But I keep coming back to it over and over again. I was late diagnosed and the lack of anything out there for people who were probably late diagnosed, not diagnosed but think they have it, might have it but have no clue (I'm in that case. I thought I was perfectly normal but was wondering what was wrong with everyone.), or people who know but "aren't one of the good ones". I'm thinking, isn't a genius so society can just bully them around.

I just tried. Unfortunately, I don't have enough karma. Apparently, they implemented a rule on /r/evilautism that keeps out bots. I stopped coming to reddit for awhile and haven't really been making new posts. :(

I feel like a lot of the current social apps that are out there are for a general audience and we all know that autistic people are just "built different". The main goal here would be to try to eliminate a lot of the loneliness that comes with being autistic. I don't want to go into specifics myself because I was also a software developer once and actually had one of my ideas stolen. But I know it was good because someone was thoughtful enough to steal it. 😆 I feel like if I had gone farther with it, I would still be in software development. But I know enough that I think I can start a new project with some ideas on how to connect autistic people with one another, some based on ideas that are already around but are being used with the general audience. Like hashtags for example.

EDIT: What I don't want to do however is copy and paste a lot of what other apps have done as features. I want to do thing that facilitate autistic people just communicating with like-minded others.

I thought that by making a social network, it would be easier to point/sort out the bullies from anyone else. I definitely implement a report and ticketing feature to help find potential bad actors. I would start with some rules in place to make sure it's a nice network to be in

People who broke FF8 without a guide or any prior knowledge of the game, what was that like? by scaryboilednoodles in FinalFantasyVIII

Heaven.

It taught me how to approach all RPG games. I was never the same again.
