Hi everybody , FYI; I have autism, so I might not be on here for most of the time. Please don’t treat me like I’m “special” . My teacher already makes me do the ABCs every day!

Welcome! I hope you have fun on here! I won't treat you differently at all, there's nothing wrong with autism.

Hi and welcome!!I am pretty active on here so you'll probably see/hear from me a lot. Don't worry, I would never treat you any differently than I treat anyone and everyone- with respect and kindness!! I hope you like it here!!

Welcome! I am a 5-year DOGO member and I'm in 8th grade... I enjoy writing (spoiler-less) reviews for DOGO, and I'm on about twice a week at least, so you'll "see" me around! I try not to update too frequently, as I'd hate to annoy people, so I mainly just write reviews and answer questions on Nat Geo- I always try to have quality content! But If you have any DOGO related questions, I'm always happy to help!

My nephew has autism and so does my cousin so I get it. I hate when people treat autistic people like they're not smart, it makes my blood boil. I think that we can grow to be great friends!

Percy Jackson, Aru Shah, Artemis Fowl, and Keeper of the Lost Cities are amazing. The 39 Clues, Mr. Lemoncello's Library, the Candymakers, and Mister Max are good if you like solving mysteries. The Lunar Chronicles, A Tale Dark and Grimm, and Storybound are good if you like twists on fairytales!

80 Days World Traveling, I guess that's the title. It's a real page-turner novel!
