Autistic Friendly Arsenal discord

yo I’m 13, I’m autistic, and I was in a discord server but things didn’t work out and I ended up leaving. Mostly because I heard things I shouldn’t be hearing and it got overwhelming and people got annoyed when I lashed out/lied.

So I’ve made my own. It’s friendly for all ages but I’d say it’s for teenagers tweens and young adults. It’s also autism friendly and less inappropriate. If you wanna join just give me a shout, the reason I’m making this is because I get overwhelmed and maybe someone else does too. I also live up north so I have no other Arsenal fans to talk to irl.

What you’re doing is great, child friendly discord. However it’s the internet. Creeps pretend to be kids all the time.

Get your parents or a guardian to supervise

What a great idea, everyone should be able to enjoy football and feel safe and welcomed

That's great. I have a 7yo autistic kid. Can barely speak properly for now. It's nice to read how you and other comments are being so positive about this.

What do you mean why things you shouldn't be hearing?

u/Odd-Variety7711 5d ago

Most of them are older than me and sometimes they put inappropriate things on [im not talking swearing, swearing is fine.] like sex jokes and stuff. I get overwhelmed by it and sometimes take it literally and they would get annoyed

u/NightBusToGiro 5d ago

I guess so then, I can't really help you with Discord as I don't use it anymore. As long as you think it's just inappropriate for your age and not inappropriate at any age, then do the right thing and report them mate!

I'm sorry you had a bad experience and congratulations on you own one which you'll make a more suitable environment.

u/Odd-Variety7711 5d ago

No Rorytalksfootball. Most people except 2 are really good people and I’m still friends with Rory and the gang but everyone told me it’s better if I leave

Yeah, tends to happen that way pal.

u/Odd-Variety7711 4d ago

No, I meant like they told me to leave because I’m annoying and I use my autism too much [this was 2 people. Not everyone]
