I post on girlsaksguys and ask sexual questions and thinks I have a problem but I really have anxiety and mild intellectual disability that cause me to ask the same questions without realizing it. Some comments said “Now you've asked this question twice. I think you're mentally ill” another one said “Change the doctor who said you're not mentally ill they obviously suck at their job” They call me mentally unstable and someone said “I’m sorry but this is absolutely untreated mental illness that we are being subjected to every day. I’ve told her before and it still rings true. Get the help you need, anon. Your behavior is weird, and off-putting, which I think you know, due to the constant anonymity. Reporting everyone who tells you the truth doesn’t fix anything either” And also “I don’t need to be a psychiatrist to recognize that your mental health issues are constantly on full display here, and if they weren’t then nobody would comment on it. You have had several people now make this claim, so what do you think that says about your outward behavior? Something is wrong with you ma’am. In any case, we can end this conversation here, Oneviewpoint’s notifications have been blown up enough with this exchange“ They say stop being a sex addict and get a hobby. But I’m not a sex addict I am having casual sex and why does it seem like they think something is wrong with me? They are bothered by me asking sexual questions because they think that I when a sex addiction. But that’s not true. I like having sex and other people that answered my questions said that I can do what I want sexually I’m an adult other people name callled me saying I have a problem. Now people want nothing to do with me and I feel like everyone hates and and I’m depressed of these comments. Why are they even assuming that I’m mentally ill and denying my doctors saying I’m not? Why does everyone hate me? I really have mild intellectual disability, autism and ADHD and autism traits. What am I doing wrong?

Detox?
it sounds like the other posters aren’t understanding you, rather than being deliberately cruel. It also sounds like they don’t really know what mental illness is; I’m not sure there are any that might make you repeat yourself. Tourettes might, but even that’s a neurological disorder rather than mental illness. So there’s a basic lack of understanding between you and them.
I’d leave the forum. It’s clearly making you feel unhappy. Weaning yourself off social media in general would probably be a good idea; living offline as much as possible is better for your mental health. Following my own depression I’ve cut out social media; on my phone I just read the newspaper, look at Vinted and sometimes drop in here. I have more time and am happier. I strongly recommend a digital detox.
Agree with Honestly
It’s better to get off the internet. Talk to real people, only the ones you trust.
Asking men about sex as a woman and letting anyone comment would to me be a sure way to get hurt. I wouldn’t do that at all.
Allow people to be wrong
Allowing people to be wrong is the most empowering thing I think I've done in recent memory. When you can truly do that, it requires no action on your part what so ever.
So based on what I just said, the answer to your question is nothing.
I think the advise already given is good as well. I'll only add to it...
Many years ago, I met Billy Joel at a sound check before his concert with other people I worked with. When it was time to get to work ( him needing to get ready for his show ) he turned to all of us before he left the stage and said ".....and, don't take any shit off anyone ! "
His words have become my mantra now years later. I don't take shit from anyone...if shit is being given, I leave and don't look back.
If I were you, I'd also take Billy Joel's advise.
