yes! aspiememes was one of the few remaining subs I would visit. most of my memes are from there
You should pin this post to the top
Good idea! I'm thinking of writing up a quick little intro on the purpose and goals for the sub, then including in this post. Thanks for the tip 🙂
r/aspiememes refugee here!
Thank you for creating this. I look forward to a safe space for discussions.
you're very welcome!
2 days and 93 subscribers already, good job
thank you! We're doing it collectively. I'm looking forward to our further growth.
r/Aspiememes and r/Autism were both places that I really felt that others understood who I was and how I experienced life. it’s great that people are making their way over here!!
same! we're doing it 😀
We're in on the ground floor!
It's exciting, right?! I'm really happy to be here for it. Thanks for being here too 😁
does add count?
All neurotypes are welcome, so everything counts! While this community might not be specific to ADHD, there is a lot of overlap between autism and ADHD. Enough so that the co-occurence is often written as AuDHD.
There are no rules that say users can't make andy ADHD posts and due to the co-occurrence, other users might find the post relevant, so go for it. If it gets "too much," we can address is in a mutually beneficial fashion once it comes up. For now, have fun.
I made a post just for you: https://lemmy.world/post/31269?scrollToComments=true

yes
This was me with ants for 3 weeks immediately right after finding the AntsCanada channel. Then I forgot about ants forever. Probably for the best, I might have not been their most responsible god.

I was replying to a different thread, but the page refreshed me and took me to this one 💀
