I was watching this post that couldn't be sticky:

http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt227311.html

And I thought: why not a subforum called 'Resources'?

I would propose:

(1) Threads in this subforum could only be started by moderators. So when someone wants a new thread, he has to call for it in the general forum or pm a moderator.

(2) Posting in those threads would be only allowed if the post contains specific information about resources. Debates and discussions should have place in the general forum (or any other corresponding subforum).

(3) Possible threads, examples:

# Various quiz / tests about AS.
# Resources in [country] (optional: state)
# Resources about [specific normative/law]
# Resources for [specific commorbity] (as ADHD, OCD, Tourette, and so)
# Resources online (web pages and pdfs).
# Campaigns.
# Resources for NT that want to understand AS.
# Documentaries.

The ones between brackets would correspond to different threads. For example, "Resources in [country]" would mean that, for example, "Resources in UK", "Resources in France", "Resources in Spain" "Resources in Nederlands" would be different threads.

WIthout speaking for Admin/Mods, in the past, mods have stated that Admin looks for a great deal of interest in a particular topic before setting up a sub-forum.

Perhaps a Wiki for Neurodiversity/WP would work as well?

Yes, I support this. For a forum devoted to autism spectrum, the site itself is actually quite sparse on solid information pertaining to autism. It could also use a lengthy FAQ.

Alex is the only person that can make modifications to this website, and he does not seem inclined to do so.

I think that would be a good idea.

Good idea, perhaps a section like this could be used to eliminate the endless questions along the lines of:

There's this boy/girl I like, what do I do?

Can aspies ..........? (fill in the dots)

I have ......, ....... and ....... Do I have Asperger's?
