It's a medium article about infighting that I often see in autistic communities.

This is insanely important information! Thank you! I was asking myself the exact same thing as op and I even made a couple groups myself just to see them fail. Your account was most helpful. Thank you.

    I hope this broken tribe mentality clears in this community much more quickly than it has in the LGBTQIA+ community. I wouldn't say we are done with it yet there are so many in the gay community that still want to exclude parts for what seems like bigotry. There are necessary executions simply for the protection of others, but consenting adults and all that.

    Back on track, the sooner this community (nurodivergent, autistic, whatever you want to call it) would be wise to take a lesson from us. There are many who are of both communities, so I have hope. We need people like you, me and others that see this and think the in-fights are a problem to calmly, rationally educate, point to the past, and lead by example.

    You are absolutely correct. Well, the first step would be that you and I (and maybe pp?) make a community on lemmy searching for exactly these people (to organize) and educate the rest. What do you say?
