Used to, left recently. But the autistic community there was easily one of the best parts.

https://aspiechattr.me/ is the one I was on. It randomly closed down without warning.

Thats pretty brutal. There are quite a lot of niche instances iirc but I have no idea if they’re reliable. Neurodifferent.me comes to mind.

Honestly, the amount of time and money needed to run these properly is tough to come up with without donations. If cant blame peeps for not doing it for free. Warning would be nice though.

No, but I do remember using the autism(at)a.gup.pe group. Not sure it still exists but I had some nice interactions there.
