I am looking for a name for an idea that I have for a website. It is a niche hobby, but there is a greek word for it that most people don’t know. Lets say its a book club and the word was Bibliophile or a music club called Melophile.

Would you, if you did not know the meaning, think of it as something sexual, or maybe even something bad? I am nervous that users might relate it to pedophile even though that is just one of, (but maybe best known) philias there are

    In autistic online communities, we tend to refer to ourselves as autists. Sometimes I call myself “an autistic”.

    It doesn’t bother me, personally. And it seems to not bother the other autistic people I’ve interacted with.
