What is the largest most active adult autism forum?
In googling around it seemed to be this one but I wanted to make sure.
Hope there isn't any kind of conflict of interests asking here.

wrong planet is the largest most active forum for autists that am know of,there are a few smaller forums around,but they have more requirements in who can use them [eg,some require only aspies,some require only those who have been diagnosed,some require those who do not want any support,some require those who do not get offended...].
WP is busy enough to not get neglected,it's designed for support as well as for other stuff,it welcomes the entire spectrum of autism as well as those with other similar conditions,NTs and open to any age,there is no forced views/beliefs here like on other forums,it has a lot more going for it than other sites,but some do prefer smaller forums and avoid WP,others avoid it because of it being a 'support forum'.

Best is difficult to quantify when you are talking about people finding a niche, BallisticMystic.
I think this is best for me, however you will get to find out if it is best for you.
welcome and I hope you enjoy your time.

I think this is the best forum out of all of them, but then again I'm probably biased. 
Anyway, welcome to WP and I hope you like it here as much as I do.

I did qualify what I meant by "best" in my post. 
Sorry for the confusion.

 Trust me, this is a nice forum. As an undiagnosed searching for answers, I feel welcome here.

From what I've heard, ZOMG and Intensity Squared might not be the best ways to go.

Huh?
I didn't really get the relevance. I googled both of those up and still don't understand.
