I’ve been here since the New Year just before receiving my diagnosis and already have decided to move on from the forum.
This is simply not the place to be having triggering discussions where people are getting upset about people’s opinions. We’re all aware of the recent discussions where people have got upset and have threatened to leave. I have found people in my own world, over the last few weeks, months and years, to be toxic towards myself and each other and I really don’t want or need any more from people who, let’s be honest, are still strangers.
I’ve tried to join in discussions but when I post I seem to have been largely ignored or struggle to read some people’s posts as they contain words I simply do not understand.
Also, even logging in has proved to be more confusing and problematic than it should be. I’m easily triggered without this frustration in my life!
it does beg the question though….why would putting a group of autistic people together, whether in person or even virtually in a forum, necessarily create a utopia? Surely our most obvious trait, among many, is that we do not work so well as a community anyway….?
Anyway, good luck all and I hope you all can find some more inner peace.
Rich
