Aradia, Cheryl, and Patrice talk about the many different kinds of community that humans experience. Some are harmful, some are helpful, some last for a long time or a short time, others can be found online or in nature. As autistic humans we often struggle to find communities that work for us, but it is a quest we all have to engage in some way.
