I look forward to seeing our friends in r/aspiememes join us.
(And now that I’ve contributed, back to my usual low-communication lurking o_o)
yes! aspiememes was one of the few remaining subs I would visit. most of my memes are from there
You should pin this post to the top
Good idea! I’m thinking of writing up a quick little intro on the purpose and goals for the sub, then including in this post. Thanks for the tip 🙂
r/aspiememes refugee here!
2 days and 93 subscribers already, good job
thank you! We’re doing it collectively. I’m looking forward to our further growth.
r/Aspiememes and r/Autism were both places that I really felt that others understood who I was and how I experienced life. it’s great that people are making their way over here!!
same! we’re doing it 😀
Just discovered that my comment gets deleted as I type it if my phone switches screen layout, so let’s try this again: This has been my exact experience. I went from my kids jokingly saying “Yeah, I think Dad’s just autistic” to me finding the r/autism subreddit and relating way to hard with folks there, to discovering self-assessment RBQ-2, AQ, RAADS-R, SQ, EQ, and CAT-Q tests that all spelled things out plain as day, to my kids being like “Yeah, Dad. We were weren’t joking. We meant that you are actually, literally autistic”.
I understand myself better because of r/autism, and I’ve learned to have more patience and understanding for myself. I’ve found my people.
Thank you for creating this. I look forward to a safe space for discussions.
you’re very welcome!
This is exciting! I’ve only ever lurked on autism forums before but I really like the friendly vibe here. Looking forward to seeing this place grow. 👍
im excited too! if you have any ideas on how to help this place, feel free to share. it’s a place for all of us.
We’re in on the ground floor!
It’s exciting, right?! I’m really happy to be here for it. Thanks for being here too 😁
First post?
Joining from /r/autism
yes
Hi
It looks like this is turning into a defacto autism “fediverse place”. Or are there others? I liked /r/autisticadults as well as a few of the other ND tilted subs.
There are other communities. You can look at our sidebar for relevant communities that we have found.
When I view/c/autism I only see posts that are older than 15 days old. I can see newer posts when viewing “all”. The same bug occurs whether I am in an app or using a browser. Does anyone know who to contact about this? Or is something wrong with my settings?
This was me with ants for 3 weeks immediately right after finding the AntsCanada channel. Then I forgot about ants forever. Probably for the best, I might have not been their most responsible god.

When God finds your comment too revolting
I was replying to a different thread, but the page refreshed me and took me to this one 💀
I’m so relieved to find this! I’m going to miss r/autism, but I really look forward to making new friends here! Reddit has been something of a coping mechanism and self regulating tool for so long, it’s comforting to know that I have a new home here.
does add count?
All neurotypes are welcome, so everything counts! While this community might not be specific to ADHD, there is a lot of overlap between autism and ADHD. Enough so that the co-occurence is often written as AuDHD.
There are no rules that say users can’t make andy ADHD posts and due to the co-occurrence, other users might find the post relevant, so go for it. If it gets “too much,” we can address is in a mutually beneficial fashion once it comes up. For now, have fun.
I made a post just for you: https://lemmy.world/post/31269?scrollToComments=true
