Been contemplating off and on about this, but even in the middle of my hiatus here I'll just get this started...
To quote the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

QuoteDefinition of neurodiverse: having, relating to, or constituting a type of brain functioning that is not neurotypical

The term refers to individuals with a differently functioning brain from their normative counterparts.

Because I've constantly checked for this type of group and saw none of that, I'd figured I would give those folks a chance to get together with their fellow folks to chat. I admit that part of it might be due to the creator of the franchise is autistic himself, but also because I also seen a small handful of players here that are also on the spectrum.

At the time of this post going live, I will not accept any applications from allies at the moment. I'm truly sorry for this...

Application Process

I know that it's in my best interest to have them posted here but part of me would like to see them via PM (private messages), but whichever one works I guess...

Application:
name/username:
Member of PH for how long/activity?:
ND Specification: [i](not limited to Autism or ADHD, but also Scizophrenia as well)
Reason for Applying?:

Things that might get your application rejected

Because I want to have this be a bit of a gathering place for those that are neurodiverse, chances are there is bound to be some sneaky folks wanting to get in for the wrong reasons.

-false ND specifics: Please do not take my kindness for granted and try to put some absurd diagnosis in this field. If there's one thing that gets added to the block list, that's anyone that tries to pull this out.

-Reasoning is blank/needs more information: I don't expect a lot of activity here at all, but leaving this blank seems to raise a lot more concerns than anything else.

Rules:

-Follow PH Rules: Self explanatory but because this is a part of the forums the rules for the site apply here. That also includes use of language and begging for items or Pokemon.

-Please do not antagonize another fellow ND over their diagnosis/method of obtaining them. Sadly one of the things that is very common on the internet nowadays is those being anti-self diagnosis. I admit that while it seems odd for folks to feel that way, I can understand that they feel like a true medical diagnosis is more reliable (for lack of better terms). At that point it's understandable, but it becomes a completely different story when they start pushing people to take that way of thinking. I won't be the first to admit that getting a diagnosis is indeed difficult in certain areas in today's world, but sometimes that person might be on the right track with just enough evidence and research into the diagnosis to where they might be onto something about themselves.

-Please don't mini-mod the forums As tempting it might be for some of us to take charge, please let the moderators of the topic as well as myself take care of the issues when needed. If the issue is very serious to where it might be a PH-rule breaker, chances are it's better to report it to the site mods rather than us...(I'll request mods when that time comes)
Feel free to add some rules to mention as I'm fairly new to this position.

Also: don't use this as an opportunity to be a troll. Any of those that send an application to the group will be blocked (unsure if I can delete them but again, new to how all this works...).

Don't know how many other people are interested in the club but I'd like to just say hello to everyone. Hope you're all doing well and I hope everyone who takes medication has taken it :)

Thanks for the interest! I admit that this is a huge first for me as well! The small interest is very appreciated regardless!

With that said, I've been a player for a little under a year at the time of posting this - I've started playing around the beginning of November. I'm actually ASD 1 or what was formerly Aspergers Syndrome until recently but just on an educational diagnosis for now. I'm currently working on getting it as a medical diagnosis though.
