... but differently.

A place for sharing creativity which has that special other dimension to it.

Divergent folk, awakened ones, angels, prophets, inventors, and ... neurotypicals. Forget about your autism! We appreciate your awkwardness.

What is this going to be? Well, I'm currently doing some inspiration collecting ... still 😄, here in the pinned post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/112817

What this place is not supposed to be:

A place for talking about autism/neurodiversity as seen in the common pathologising clinical way, or memes about all the former. We do not want to talk about what doesn't work. ;-)

This place however, shall be there for sharing what we (and others) can do with that neurodivergence thing. How we are set-up, what we receive, and how we create when we are in the flow. This shall be uplifting and mutually enabling. Here we shall celebrate cheerfully our uniqueness.

We are the bunch who perhaps really know how things could work better.

For those other things, you may want to look into one of these places:

You see, there is plenty of room for those problems and disabilities. :-)

Its a shame that they did that, especially since the largest neurodivergent community on lemmy was over there, but for anyone who calls this instance or lemmy.world home I saw we make this the new one.

WTF i have to catch up with that. Do the Lemmy wars already start?
TBH, now i'm glad i noticed early what kind of community would gather there, and went to make my main account somewhere else. Well, let's see if we can analyse some underlying patterns there, shall we? (in order to get this aligned with the intended theme of this community ... i'm still composing/channeling a sticky post)

I can somehow sympathise with it when people feel insecure in a public space, and they'd rather be able to lock the door. (well i feel like that myself and i'm still uncertain if i should actually expose myself here)
What many (seem to!) fail to see, though -- that is if one were to wall themselves off, that will create an echo chamber, and that again will not foster a healing. It will be dividing instead of connecting. I see that pattern mirrored in many aspects of societies.
It would certainly be more easy to gain understanding and sympathy when people could actually meet face-to-face. "In the internet", certain neuronal triggers that happen on meeting another human are simply missing, so some people's natural attack inhibition might not work.
