“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Basically being left out of the group but for life 😀
Love being told "it took me a while to understand you. You just say what you mean and don't hide anything. It's kinda weird. You're too honest and it creeps me out."
That person is no longer an associate of mine.
I’ve been told “people can change their mind” more times than I can count
Fuck me for expecting people to say what they mean, right?
I'm still coming to grips with this being part of being on the spectrum and I've felt this all my life. Only recently got daliagnosed.
For a long, long time, I just marked it up as me being "brutally honest" when I realized I can't even say white lies to save people from hurt feelings or whatever. It's a whole nother world realizing how frustrating existing has been trying to wade through what people are actually saying.
I feel so alienated from everyone else that I despair sometimes of ever making a friend, of ever falling in love. I'm so lonely it's killing me. Very dark thoughts lately. I don't know what to do.
I feel less and less on the same wavelength with my old friends. I think it's part of getting older but it still sucks. I think I've just let my brain wander too far out there and now I can't come all the way back.
I went through an intensely lonely period a few years ago. I know it's not something you can change overnight, but you have to become comfortable with being alone. That's not too say you always will be, but you need to be your own best friend. I used to beat myself up a lot, then I started thinking that I wouldn't talk to somebody I care about the way I talk to myself, and that's not ok. Learn to enjoy your own company, take good care of yourself, and focus on your well-being. You'll be ok.
You can all be in my group 
except I don't have a group
I have trouble making friends but this seem a little over the top to me.
I don’t like new people. Nobody does. How are you supposed to like someone you don’t know anything about? Friendship takes time and immediately assuming everyone hates you isn’t going to help. You’re correct, they don’t like you but you’re wrong if you assume they dislike you.
Also if you do happen to find someone who's knee jerk reaction to meeting a new person is to hate is not a person to befriend.
I think this comment explains why making friends post-high school has never worked for me. You’re just expected to meet a random person and make some sort of connection with them right away and/or find a way to keep in contact with them
I know people who are able to do this without trying and I’m so jealous
Even worse - you make a connection with some you think is cool then you find out afterwards they’re a chud. 
This is one of my biggest issues. I have a D&D friend who I've known for over 2 years and he's starting to show hints of chuddery. It's really difficult for me to ignore and it's making me like him a lot less as a person.
But what am I supposed to do? It's difficult just to meet strangers and for a connection to develop. Expecting they're on the same page as you politically on top of that is almost never going to happen.
i just fill myself with false confidence. everyone loves me, even the people who hate me 
I've been told time and again how "confident" I am even though it's not confidence, it's an incredible degree of composure I've attained by working grocery while being in the worst emotional pain imaginable for years. I actually have shit self-esteem and don't really try anything because I'm overwhelmed and I never really learned how to weather failure properly. Or rejection.
