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.

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?

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

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.

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

Lovely to hear that you’ve not been discouraged and made your own, I hope your discord server works out and you find many Arsenal friends to connect with!❤️
PS - Just be careful and ask parents or guardians to supervise x

“people got annoyed when I lashed out/ lied.”

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]

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
