Welcome!

I don't think their is a secret to getting connected, just start posting. If chat threads are your thing, there are lots of friendly people in Random Discussion.

If you stay, you will learn an enormous amount about yourself, NT social dysfunctions, and autistic supremacy. :mrgreen:

Welcome,
Sit down,
And relax. ;)

@ OP.
I suggest you avoid the PPR and News forums.
They are the two "Take no prisoners" places on here.
I recommend you "find your feet" in other areas. ;)

The Haven is the safest place to post.
Negative attitudes/commentary is verboten/forbidden there. ;)

This is also a good post to read: viewtopic.php?t=191597#p8581100
And this one: viewtopic.php?t=26#p92

I hope you don’t mind me asking: are you blind?

If so, you would, as far as I know, be the first openly blind person here—a pioneer!
