"Dette forum repræsenterer ikke nogen bestemt forening eller filosofi.  I stedet skal det være mødestedet for alle mulige udtryk for autistisk kreativitet og fortagsomhed.  Forum er åbent for hele det autistiske spektrum og andre med interesse for emnet". [se velkomst: "Vores hoved-tema er "autistisk kultur", som endnu ikke er defineret, men i første omgang vil vi samle så mange forskellige udtryksformer som muligt fra autister i alle afskygninger."] Dette Forum er startet op af Anders Lund Olsen.
