Has 'AutismForums' ever been in the news?

Searching through news content sites, unable to find mentions of 'AutismForums'

Might news-stories encourage new 'AutismForum' members?

You don't mean things like this....
Autistic online forums & social media
right?

You mean network television, or platforms like
About Us | Ground News ??

Seems to me like it might be a bit of a double-edged sword. On one hand, you do increase the awareness and attention of the greater autistic community. On the other hand, you also increase the awareness and attention of the potentially toxic, sociopathic, psychopathic, and narcissistic community that may find it rather rewarding and stimulating to troll the forum and cause havoc for us and the administrators.

l actually had a new forum member tell me he was going to sabotage the website, he was a computer software guy. I immediately forwarded his post to admin. This was several years ago.

The quality news sources, such as PBS Public Broadcasting Service in the U.S periodically do stories concerning the the Autism Spectrum.

The are quality TV and Internet news-sources that have done thoughtful news-stories involving the Autism Spectrum.

News-stories involving neurodiversity, and people handling High Functioning Autism (HFA) (HFA NT-like) are overlooked, and hence need news-coverage.

The Autism Spectrum is hereditary in familes - that is both classic Autism, and HFA happens within the same families.
