***OUR CORE PRINCIPLES:
***1*** All posts must be made by or on behalf of an autistic person.
***2*** EVERYONE is celebrated and welcome except bigots, sexists, and serious rulebreakers
***3*** We're all here to learn about autism, UK-specific processes and experiences, and that we're not alone. And to grow.
