Probably…? Not gonna lie, the question is pretty vague, IMHO. What are you looking for, exactly? An active community of autistic people? The presence of people that happen to be autistic you could follow? Plain curiosity about who uses that platform? Opinions/questions about Mastodon from autistic people on this community?

Maybe any of those things, honestly.

I don’t have much friends where I live now.

Feel that. Whereabouts is that? Likely far in Cambodia, but would like a hand with Mastodon.
