My boyfriend told me about it, I took a look, but it's been a year since that occurred. BF claims that he got ejected from his WP membership because of various statements he's made.

Its certainly not a hate site. NT bashing is specifically prohibited. Its an anti-cure site.

It gets a lot of flack from autism speaks supporters.

I don't use it as often as I use WP, but I am a member there under the same username.

Their aims are very admirable and I don't really understand why this petty rivalry between WP and AFF exists.

I tried to register to be a member one time and they said they weren't taking any more members at the moment. That was a few years ago.

I love that site. It is not hateful at all, it counteracts NT hatred.

No... it doesn't... additional hatred does not counteract hatred... it begets more

I just went and had a look around for 1/2 an hour and it seems fine to me, not militant at all. Maybe its changed.
