You can apply at any time! The form is still open, it might just take a while for us to get around to it since we tend to approve applications in batches haha
Ooo! I have a somewhat lengthy answer so I'll hyu on discord
While I'm going through applications, some other reasons why we don't accept people are:
1) No posts on your socials. We use socmed to tell if people are likely to be bigots in the server etc and if there's nothing on your profile, it's a risk we don't feel comfortable taking
2) pro generative AI

[2026 APPLICATIONS OPEN NOW]
Our server is 5 years old and very active with over 1000 autistic members. We chat about interests, play games, make art etc, so if you're autistic and looking for community, come join the Autistic Creative Hub!

can vouch that this server is so cool and welcoming and a nice place to hang out in!!!
I'm not on there myself but for autistics, pop on over.
Bex is doing a wonderful thing there.
Just like anybody else, autistics matter.

Thanks so much Adam, I really appreciate it!!
We're going to start going through applications tomorrow and hopefully get through them all in the next few days! We'll be sending invites out via email so keep an eye on your junk folder as well as your inbox just in case!
You MUST be autistic to join this server. Self-diagnosis is valid. If you're on the fence or unsure, please do not join until you are sure. This server is for people who Are autistic; not for people to figure out whether they're autistic. Please respect this.
RULES:
This is a leftist server. If you support Trump, you are not welcome.
You must be 18+ (it's just easier to communicate when everyone is an adult).
The server has a creative focus but you don't have to be creative to join and hang out.
FAQ: Is it ok if I'm not very active?
Yes! Lurkers are welcome and there is no minmum engagement requirement. The space is there for when you want to use it
FAQ: I applied and never heard back
This can happen for a few reasons but it usually comes down to either:
1) You didn't type your email in correctly
2) You didn't type your socials properly so we couldn't vet you
3) The email went to junk
4) You weren't approved because of bigotry on your socials
Every April, we run the Autistic Creative Festival in the server, we have a bunch of different events planned for everyone to take part in so if that interests you, please fill out an application!

Digital comic done in black and white with textured greys. Narration reads "First time fishing" with Jey, a nonbinary person with big square glasses and short cropped hair wearing a t-shirt. They're reeling back with a fishing rod over a lake. They throw the line and it goes "BOING!" on the end of the rod. The lure doesn't go anywhere. Jey notices this and goes "Oh..." disappointedly as they watch the line just slowly sink down from the top of the rod towards the water. The lure "plops" into the water, where unbeknownst to Jey a fish lurks. Jey exclaims "I GOT ONE?!" as they pull the fish out of the water.
My good friend @thesandlord.bsky.social taught me how to fish this summer and this was my first time throwing a line out! It was very exciting, even if the line didn't actually go anywhere.
I got the hang of throwing the line eventually.

Hey. I really love ComicFury. It's the best comic-hosting site there is.
So please consider hosting your comics there, if you don't have a comic home yet!
And please consider donating to keep it running!
There's many reasons it's been going for 17 years now.
I hope that doesn't stop.

A silly 4 panel comic. Panel 1: Bex is stood next to a container of moisturiser which has fallen upside down on the floor. Panel 2: she thinks to herself: I don't want to pick it up. But if I don't, all the moisturiser will gather at the lid and it'll be really inconvenient later. Panel 3: she kicks the container and it flips over. Panel 4: the moisturiser is the right way up but still on the floor. Life is about compromise.

A two panel comic. In the first panel, Bex is talking to her neurodivergent friends. As she yaps away, the text reads: wow I'm literally so good at talking to people. Autism who? Social anxiety whomst? I'm so fun and everyone likes me! In the second panel, Bex is stressed out while attempting to talk to a stranger. She says, "wow that's so cool! Omg that's really cool! Cool! That's cool!" While thinking, "oh my fucking God help help help stop saying cool! I'm so boring! I can't believe how terrible I am at this!"
Turns out I'm still autistic after all /j
I think part of my problem is that I have this bad habit of not wanting to take up space in a conversion. I've survived by asking questions and not talking too much about myself, mostly bc I think the other person won't be interested, which I think makes me quite boring!!!
