ive been on there and put red arrows next to the ignorant comments. Also ive flagged the positive comments as such. It felt like an "autistic friendly" against "not so autistic friendly" fight at times.

This family does not look as though they are suffering.

Looks can be deceiving i know many autistics that put on a face when they are severely depressed inside. One of which attempted to take his own life recently (offline friend).
