I've just had a look at that interview and tend to agree with you, EnglishLulu.  They seem to have created it to fulfill their own need.  The focus is pretty narrow as well - they want to publish writing about autism. It's also unfortunate that they haven't involved anyone who is autistic, but perhaps they would be open to changing that.

Perhaps this is an opportunity for those on AFF who are autistic and who do write prose and poetry to become involved in this venture.  It might be worthwhile approaching these women and asking if they would extend their focus to include writing by autistics, but not necessarily limited to having autism as its subject matter.  It would give a greater breadth and depth to their journal.
