It's a spectrum.
it seems like very few people in said spectrum are actually affected by this, and some who claim they are don't like the studios for a completely different reason.
Exactly. And sometimes I feel as though NTs are using us to get what they want. Since when do they care about us?

That's the sad truth. People can, and will, manipulate others to get what they want. I'm 99% sure the OP just wants the old studio layout back and is using a handful of random people on the internet as justification.

Chill. Accusing people of being manipulative over a web forum discussion is a pretty large stretch.

That being said, this topic has 22 pages, 10,000+ views, and I still have yet to see anything that suggests studios are hostile to those with autism besides one post here or there with legitimate accessibility complaints. Everything else has been a complaint about the new style, and although I'm sympathetic to that as a person who loves early 2010s web design aesthetics, that's not going to convince the historically rigid Scratch Team to go back on the man hours and money they spent rebuilding the studio system from the ground up.

If I may invoke my signature:

This is adding almost nothing to the discussion, how exactly is this being disabilty exclusive? (kinda bad choice of words there imo)

It doesn't. There isn't anything wrong with the design, or at least nothing that anyone has actually given evidence for, that affects people with disabilities.

perhaps it only affects some users, but i did see problems that autistic scratchers had with it, and i only made this to try and help ^^ its been over a year and id completely forgotten abt this, so instead of fighting with each other, hbu just agree to disagree? /gen

Maybe you could edit the OP/title, to not be about being neurodivergent, but maybe a general ‘it’s a bit crowded’ statement? The main arguments have been all about autism/adhd

Iron sharpens iron. The best way to improve the website is to come up with suggestions, and then have people explain why they think those are either good or bad, so the ST can, like a judge, determine whether or not it’s a good idea. If we just “agree to disagree? /gen /sus /summon” we can’t show the ST why or why not to do something.

We're arguing over a problem that has long been irrelevant. Why is this still open?

I saw a few comments by autistic scratchers saying about this, and I'm not autistic, so I'm not really sure. But if they don't feel comfortable about it, then I want people to know, so that it works for everyone

I don’t feel as if it being changed without prior notice is that big of a problem. If they did tell us beforehand, the same outcome would have happened without some sort of option to change around the website layout.

Autistic people can't handle change, apparently? This is new information for me.

That’s what I was thinking!! They can handle change, they just need a little more time to adapt.

I so badly want to make a rant about non-autistic people complaining about stuff that most autistic people don’t really find that bad.. I’ll do it on a different, slightly more non-kid friendly website later…
