Introducing Myself

So I joined the Discord but I don’t really get what I’m supposed to do.

I originally struggled with the concept of humour, but I think at some point I made a connection in my head that made it make more sense to me. Now I would say I have quite a dark sense of humour, but it’s definitely helped me through some of my darkest times.

Hi there! I love to chat but I find it difficult to initiate a conversation.

When you stated that:

I only use an IPhone and I can’t seem to get those options Deepthought, it just takes me to that person’s page and I can’t seem to send a request from there.

I did not realise at the time that when I wrote:

Tap or click the member's user / avatar name so that you get these options as something much like in the following image:

And all going well ~ take it from there..

It is actually not the case that you tap or click the member's user / avatar name to get the options menu depicted ~ but when you drift your cursor over the member's user / avatar name.

Apologies for misinforming you and hopefully this corrected information will prove wholly effective.

Welcome  This community has helped me quite alot, always happy to chat

um, well, maybe people do judge 'us' or each other...all the time... maybe they do see 'us' as 'different'..... i really don't know. but i kind of feel they always judged me. if that's true, kinowing that, i think makes the world um... clearer??? altho maybe not easier... i'll put a lol here, but it's not v funny.... lol... ha.

I’ve also been doing what you said about replying to posts, I just figured that there was an easier way. Sometimes I still can’t get that to work which is why I’m replying to my own post.

This latest website forum is a bit of nightmare in one way or another for most people. It has been this way since the end of August when it was first activated. I have all these imaginings that a glitch free website forum would be rather helpful, but no such luck with that here as yet. Hey hoe!

Perhaps send an e-mail to: Communitymanager@nas.org.uk reporting the issue?

When I first tried to use the latest version of this site when it was first launched . . . I could not even sign in let alone post anything. It took quite a bit of trying this and that with the tech-support team ~ but eventually we got it sorted out obviously.

 But now I can directly reply?

Hey there, how’s it going?

where have u been ? 

Dealing with stress induced seizures and all the psychologically fragmenting disassociations involved with all of that.

Having my linguistic frameworks fragged after seizures kind of makes writing systems of words utterly difficult or even entirely impossible, even though I can still read most of the time ~ I have to sometimes use a dictionary which is rather pleasant for the etymologist in me to relearn the linguistic basics again.

After long bouts of day-in-day-out month-in-month-out seizures though the very idea of writing anything at all becomes considerably distressing or frustrating ~ which seriously does not help with having psychogenic / stress induced seizures.

Hence my seasonal or event related absences from writing stuff from time to time.

Hey hoe and such is life and all of that and so on and so fourth! 

where have u been ?

I'm still lost 

The 'human' condition and all it's states of affairs sociologically although very complex and convoluted ~ is ultimately very simple in deed; when compared with the indefatigable mystery of the human 'being'.

The main difficulty for us on the spectrum (along with other neurologically and sociologically divergent members of society) is that we lack more often the facilitation and identification of those like us as we develop, hence the problems of not feeling comfortable with others and not fitting in, and titles like 'Stranger in a strange land' often having significant meaning.

When it comes to as aidie stated, still feeling lost, appreciating and learning to enjoy that as many mystics or metaphysicists promote is what allowed me as a human 'being' to feel discovered as an indefatigable mystery, and as I often state ~ "I very much prefer being an 'odd-one-out' rather than one of the 'odder-ones-in'!"

How do you send a friend request?

Tap or click the member's user / avatar name so that you get these options as something much like in the following image:

And all going well ~ take it from there..

How come I can’t respond to certain posts?

In order to respond to your post here, I had first to tap the 'Reply' tab to your opening post at the top of page and then cancel it ~ so that I could then activate and then cancel the 'Reply' tabs to each string of responses in turn until the reply option was activated for this response to have become so.

The reason for this depends in part upon the number of operating systems and browsers that are used by people in general, and also the as yet unresolved glitches that are involved with this websites operating protocols / coding.

It is usually though just a case (if you will excuse the anthropomorphism) of '"waking" this system up to the fact that we are registered users or members (with the right of reply) rather than just people on the browse as passing visitors (without the right of reply).

you're welcome

Thanks.
