alt.support.autism charter (established at the creation of this group in January 1998):
This newsgroup is for support, information and discussion pertaining to the full spectrum of Autism and related conditions. Participants welcomed include first and foremost people with Autism spectrum conditions (including Autism, Asperger Syndrome, PDD-NOS), but also their parents, professionals working in the field, and other interested people.
This is an unmoderated newsgroup. A safe and supportive atmosphere is important and participants are encouraged to govern themselves in this matter. Postings containing binary (= non-text) files, advertising not related to the subject, and other off-topic traffic are inappropriate. Crossposting to other groups is discouraged.
This Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document is produced in response to requests from people who felt that such a guide would help people get more out of the newsgroup from the time they join it. It is not some kind of charter or rule book, and "violations" of the FAQ will not result in anyone being ostracised or condemned. However, it is hoped that misunderstandings will be minimised.
