I'm not sure if is just me but it trully does seem that the prevalence of neurodiversity in places like this is way higher than in the average population.

Wanting to use Lemmy (or knowing about it at all) is pretty much a symptom of us thinking about the platforms we use, not just their content, which we tend to do much more because we usually dive deeper into subjects than the average neurotypical person. Plus, a lot of autistic people tend to have stronger moral principles since we tend to see things more black and white.

There’s also the fact that in smaller communities, minorities tend to feel safer. The chances of seeing people being openly ableist here is almost none compared to Reddit for example
