~AutisticFurs
This is the place for the group AutisticFurs. If you are on the Autism Spectrum, curious about it, or you know someone with it, then feel free to +watch or stick around. :)
What is Autism?
Autism is a spectrum disorder, often noted by difficulties with social interactions and communication, as well as restricted interests and repetitive behavior.
As of the DSM-V there is no longer the 3 different diagnoses of Autism / Aspergers / PDD-NOS. It is all now called 'Autism spectrum disorder' and this page reflects those changes.
Most autistic people have trouble communicating emotions. This does not mean that an autistic person does not feel. He or she simply cannot express their feelings adequately.
The purpose of this group is just for representation. I'm no longer updating it, and have no energy or time to do so.

New icon.
3 years ago
Nine years ago when I made this account, the puzzle piece imagery was still acceptable at the time as long as it wasn't a blue puzzle piece symbolizing Autism $peaks. Over time that's changed, and so I've updated the icon to reflect that.
I nuked all of the shouts on the page. If I knew how to disable them I would do that, as people are needlessly rude and dramatic to others.
My official stance as the creator to this page is that I do not, and will not ever, support A$ or any organization that promotes cures, vaccine-hysteria, eugenics, ableism, anything of the sort.
However, I'm also not keeping this page up to date. I've removed the old terminology as well as the quote by Temple Grandin.
Hopefully, the icon is more inclusive for everyone.
Be safe, be kind, and take care of yourself.
