im gonna kinda blabber here.

you ever just want to do something for your interest just to change the next day also what is that called? i have autism, dyslexia, depression and im constantly bored for some reason. i find that im hard to entertain or to find something to do plus i struggle with learning. i really want to create something that i can share with others, maybe a short story? honestly im not sure. i feel like i need a creative hobby and things like sewing or anything to do with fabric dont interest me because i believe i may be a nerd. ive been wanting to do something from a my pc possibly but at this point im not sure anymore. i like dnd but i dont have friends to play with and i dont trust online activities.

We've talked about creating a wiki for our community, but no one has really jumped on it. If you feel like working on that, that would be cool. You'd have the experience of creating a wiki, learning a ton about autism, and have all the advocacy and education you shared to show for it. Keep in mind that the community is based on an autism acceptance perspective, not really a medical model.

I'd be happy to chat and collaborate with you on it if you're interested. However, that's only if you feel like it. Please don't feel the need to do it unless you absolutely feel driven to do so.
