It's not just the condition it's how people manage it, for example masking to fit in

Well I tried to reduce my automatic masking abilities a while ago and I feel more comfortable in my own body since. But still no frends :3 I think being multiple personalities at once is just my personality. Differentiate and Integrate. Hard process. Still in it. Help.

Also why are 60% of all autism posts by you?

Only 60% of posts by one individual actually means the community is active and thriving. Are you familiar with the 90-9-1 rule? Lemmy is still small enough that most communities that are any activity at all are being carried by a single individual.

Having a small community is a blessing and a curse. Reddit grew too large of a user base, and the quality of interactions took a significant decline around 2015 or so. I'm hoping Lemmy (and federation in general) can bring back what I found special about Reddit around 2009-2010.

I see some of the issues that Reddit has (one-word or low-effort comments, people not reading the article, atrocious grammar/spelling), but it doesn't seem to be the norm. I've been visiting Lemmy for around a year but have finally decided to stop using Reddit and become active over here.

Those issues you point out ("that reddit has") seem to be common on all medium/large platforms. One word comments like "first" and "this" were common on sites like digg, long before reddit came along. And spelling/grammar mistakes are older than the internet.
