I don't usually make these posts, but thought I'd share the news.

I have an instance called autistics.life. It's a mastodon server for autistic and neurodivergent people.

We have a wholesome autistic/neurodivergent vibe, and we just upgraded to a 10,000 character limit.

My business pays for the hosting and it's a stable income. I'll never ask you for money to keep the server online, so it's free for you to use.

Domain registration was recently renewed for an additional 3 years. December will be 2 years this instance has been online. The host has also been in business since 2013 (11 years). It's a stable server and not going anywhere.

I am on neurodifferent.me, and there are many times that the server can't be reached to update my messages. How is your server? How easy is it for me to migrate?

Do you need donations to keep your server running? I have limited income but have been known to donate to good things.

I would prefer to use the term "empowering"

This all sounds like a new version of social engineering, like we put our favorite authors in our passwords

I'm regularly confused why anyone, especially parents of Autistic children, would think ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) is a good thing.

Sure, it might make your child compliant at moments when you want to do show-and-tell with your "friends", but you will be generating lifelong trauma.

I can't thank you enough for spelling out what ABA is. I've seen it referred to in so many posts by fellow autists but this is the first time I have seen anyone actually spell out what the initials mean so I could go look it up and find out why it is so bad.
