Apparently this website has been started by some former members of Aspies for Freedom and they continue doing some activism work. Has anyone here had some experience with them and do think this site is worth joining?:

I don't think that it's rude to talk about other sites. It's just making suggestions about other sites that have the same goals. Those sights should be happy that we talk about them in a positive way because we're actually promoting them.

Anyway, I'll think about joining them later. I did have an account on Aspies for Freedom but I made few posts on that forum when it was still up.

I know of no rule against talking about other sites.
