I was trying For a site called ‘Aspies Central’, and wound up here.
Anybody know why?

Aspie Central and Autism Forums are one and the same

The website underwent a name change from Aspie Central to Autism Forums a few years or so ago (around 2016, or 2017) if I'm not mistaken

Yeah, I know: seeing folks attack you over politics when you needed sympathy for how such events affect you was one of the things that put me off WP.
I’m quite happy to receive a PM if you’re more comfortable with that.

What I have found rather disturbing is having racial assumptions made about me and used to try to diminish what I had to say on WP by an NT member who seems intent to find racsim everywhere, and which moderators there did little about.

It would be nice to have an area where it was possible to discuss politics in a civilised manner, but I guess, as WP shows, that unless moderation is (and remains, should moderators change) neutral, it descends into an echo-chamber\cesspool, so it probably safer to not have an area such as that (or general (non ASD) news).

I wonder if the "chat" section could be used to discuss whatever is causing anxiety, Slyfox...Otherwise, I'm happy to reply to PM's, although being on the other side of the world, I may take a while to respond.
 
Yeah, before I signed up here I was openly talking about it in a thread there.

I’m sorry I didn’t see you getting attacked: I reduced my presence to one move a day on the games for a while there and missed it.

Seems to me that the usual suspects take words and phrases out of context and project a fictitious ideology from them: then attack the poster on the basis of a fantasy.

I got accused of turning a blind eye to racism for merely asking one them to cool it a bit in deference to another members clearly stated distress.
Then received a lecture on “morality” when I presumed to point out that it’s meant to be a support site.
 
REMINDER

This is an Intro thread.
An Intro thread is a place to welcome a new member, to
get to know that member insofar as that new member cares
to disclose his or her interests.

Not the place to dissect activities from another site.

my interests.

I like video games, guns, coins, history and tv.
I’ve found that very few aspies share my interests though
 
Hey welcome. Maybe you will like it here. Just give it some time. Changes are difficult. l just moved, it will take me a half a year to feel at home. lol

2000+ games in steam library hints at a minor interest there.
guns - not so much, unless on an armored platform (Tanks/SPG's), and ideally in the plastic building brick format.
Coins - not at present, but did in the past.
History - certain periods in history, yes.
Telly - don't have much chance to watch, but there are a few shows I like.

What specifically do you like about guns? Do you like shooting them, hunting with them, or just collecting them?

I've always wanted to learn more about guns, but never have put the time into it.

I like collecting, shooting and cleaning them. There’s many different designs and mechanics to them. Lots of history too.

what have you wanted to learn

I play on console. I might start saving for pc after getting new consoles it PCs are expensive and I don’t care for keyboard and mouse.
