8.) Autism Forums / Autism Community
https://www.autismforums.com/

AC chat:
https://www.autismforums.com/chat/
-the chat can be accessed from the website itself
-you need to sign in [to an account] to chat
-you might need to modify its Settings [top right of the chat] for it to display messages normally and for messages to stream in the right direction
-it's the most populated autism chat I've tested, but AFF chat comes close and may be more populated in the USA night time [which is daytime for me]


9.) Healthful Chat

-it is not a strictly autism-related community, it has multiple disorder areas

HC for autism:
