    I joined WrongPlanet but whilst I was registering I was banned for no apparent reason, I was listed as a "spammer" even though I had only just registered. Maybe the ceo is homophobic and hates LGBT people. I hope I'll be accepted here either way. I was diagnosed with ASD at a very young age, I...
