Not every society welcomes people on the spectrum of autism. A good reason for many to keep a very low profile. Even if being anonymous online.

Equally it isn't necessarily easy for people to come to terms with their own autism and talk about it with total strangers. When they're ready, perhaps they'll become members and post. It's their choice.

And then there are simply those who are Neurotypical who may be looking for answers who for whatever reason don't want to interact with us directly. That's their choice as well.

Finally consider the disparity between the number of members online at any one given time, and the total number of registered members. There's really only a handful of those who post on a regular basis.

Just understand that being a "lurker" isn't a dirty word here. Proceed at your own pace.

I also think some of the "guests" are information farming bots. But yea, what Judge said was on point.

Good point. LOL..forgot about the bots. Third-parties harvesting data without any decency to ask. Lots of them at any given time.
