Is this place actually going to allow people to post?

In reference to the awful /r/ADHD subreddit which is the most anti-ADHD place online I have ever seen I would like to know if this place will follow their horrible example or actually allow neurodivergent people with ADHD to consider it a home?

Based on this from the sidebar it seems positive and I look forward to interacting with you all.

I found that subreddit really depressing too, so I only occasionally popped in and out. In theory, an online support group is great, but compared to an in-person (or structured online) support group (discussion led by moderator, meets maybe once a week, etc), it was just too heavy to read daily. I honestly don’t know how you make it better, though, especially once a sub grows reaches a certain size.

I joined the discord for a bit and it was really good. But the main sub was something else.
