I’ve Decided to leave the forum.

I’ve been giving this much thought over the last few days, I’ve been here for nearly 4 years and have learned much about autism. Not to sound too soppy, it’s been and still is a mind blowing autistic journey. I’ve seen lots of people come and go and have enjoyed chatting to different people. Lots has changed since I first joined.

I have found it very disturbing to see a fellow autistic human subjected to trial and verdict by AI, as autistic people we often have strong views on subjects, they are just that, views or opinions, why should someone’s opinions need to be constantly fact checked by a computer? It seems NAS we’re complicit in this act by condoning it, this is a public forum that the whole world can access. It looks as if the act was a long time in its planning. Are we getting to a world where a court is to dispense with a jury of human adults and simply feed the evidence into a computer? The AI has decided either guilt or innocence and passed sentence. It’s not a word I would wish to be part of. To be honest I’m shocked over the whole situation. AI can also not comprehend human compassion.

I don’t want to engage any further, I more just wanted to say goodbye, and to the good times.

  • Dearest Roy!

    A chum alerted me to this post....so despite generally keeping well away myself these days.....I couldn't not "pop-back-up" to say goodbye and to send you a VERY sincere thank you.

    I feel like we shared a very important portion of our respective journeys here together....or at very least, enjoyed a warm and comforting parallel existence here "just chilling and chatting" and I am tremendously grateful for that time we were able to enjoy whilst we settled into our new found personal realities.  Like you....I am incredulous of how this (once) safe and (relatively) peaceful haven is being allowed to "grow".....like a frigging Darlic/Hydra cross-breed!!!

    I will always be able to see your old workshop in my minds eye [without that topless bloke mind (God rest his soul)] and recall our discussions about move-v-stay and I'm absolutely  delighted that everything appears to have worked out.....just as you'd hoped....and that I got to "see" that happen.  I LOVE happy endings!

    You're a very good man Roy, you helped me a lot, and it has been a genuine blessing to have known you here.  I wish only excellent things for you and your wife, whilst the world clumsily clatters "forward" around us.

    Assuredly yours
