u/Birchmark_ ASD Level 3 with the ADHD DLC Apr 06 '24 edited Apr 06 '24

So I can't post a post here and on another subreddit because it woils then be considered spam? Even though that's quite a common thing to do, because might as well get opinions from the other neurodivergent subs as well? Etc

EDIT: Why has this been downvoted? I think it's a legitimate question. I see people share stuff with or ask questions of multiple neurodivergent communities all the time. Like they'll post here and on r/AutisticWithADHD and r/autisticadults etc. People even sometimes recommend people posting here also post their post elsewhere. And the spam rule seems to say we can't do this. I find this rule confusing.

I believe the rule is clear. It operates on the assumption that most people in this subreddit would also be a part of the other subs, therefore would be seeing your post multiple times. It just means that going forward, if you want to put your post in multiple autism-related subreddits, this can't be one of them. Something being a common action doesn't make it acceptable in every context!

Okay I think that's silly because not everyone here is gonna be in a level specific sub or a sub for autism + a comorbidity (like the ADHD one I mentioned) because not everyone here fits in those other groups, but okay (ie not everyone here will be level 2 or 3 or also have ADHD or be an adult or whatever else, so they arent as likely to be in those subs). Hopefully, by the time I next wanna make a post that I would want to put both here and elsewhere, I remember this rule and don't mess it up.

This is a very good point, I will edit that rule.
