It's good you found the Forum to connect, learn and get support.
Just to add: the Forum isn't supposed to be used for research purposes (please see the guidelines). Any interest in conducting formal research needs to be approved by the NAS. [I'm a recognised researcher in my field so I agree with the NAS's requirements to ensure the conduction of only valid/reliable research.]
As an older female, I too am interested in issues specific to us. I hope you get the benefits of the Forum - I am a recent participant here but I've received a lot of knowledge, understanding and support. Good Luck!
Firstly, if you’re getting upset re a typo you really shouldn’t be engaging in online discourse! Hence, you're absolutely correct in ceasing to engage with strangers on an open forum.
I don’t know what age you are, or how autism affects you, but please refrain from commenting on individuals use of language, as you are incorrect re the usage of the word ‘research’.
In my opinion, your comments are pedantic - I was simply being polite by not pointing it out prior.
It’s surprising, that having engaged with research? you cannot understand the word’s general usage.
The issue here is, that I don’t know you and you don’t know me, therefore if you insist on making such comments, you will have to expect a response, that may not be to your liking.
Since you’re ill, it’s best you look after yourself and get the necessary help that you need. Many people are ill, or undergoing treatment on here too, just try and remember that. And some people may not be as civil, as I’ve been to you.
In fact, I recently signed up, and your negative response has put me off using the site, hence I’ll have to do my research elsewhere.
Remember you replied to my query, and if you didn’t get the result you expected, that clearly demonstrates more about you, than it does about me.
Finally, thank you, I really appreciate having no further communications from you.
Sorry, that you found it unclear, but it's personal reserch, not professional, and I thought I made that clear.
As a renowned expert researcher (including work for the Home Office, Parliament and the U.N.) I stand by my previous statements (please re-read them).You are choosing not to accept these professional facts. You do not use the formal word "research" when what is being done is not "research".
[Oh, and just an important point - you spelled "research" wrong (you wrote "reserch" - please see your quote above). If the word "research" cannot be spelled correctly or if a typo was not corrected, then the exactitude of real research should never be attempted!]
I am upset that, as an expert, you refuse to accept professional feedback. I was also kind and welcoming in my replies: I wished you well for joining the Forum and I said I hope you get the information you want.
The experience of your replies has upset and stressed me and made me so anxious that I will stop commenting on the Forum. I used to do it a lot and it helped me, but now I will not be going on the Forum because it is triggering. I do not know what upset awaits me on it.
Luckily, I made a good friend I can write to separately. Also, I need to get rid of any stress and upset because I am having debilitating cancer treatment. Thus, I will not read, let alone answer, any reply from you.
However, I still wish you well in gaining the information you need to be helped.
