Hello, forums are lonely places

Jarrod Reliatec.co.uk

Hi all,

My name is Jarrod, I am a forty something Asperger syndrome patient. I also have primary progressive multiple sclerosis which is making things interesting. I am here as I am being put through torture at the moment and I have no choice but to wait for the incompetent system to sort its act out.

I have never found a forum anything other than lonely, I have created plenty of them as a systems engineer. I have a lot to say: http://reliatec.co.uk I don't see any point repeating what is already published.

Oh wait, mind-blind of me, how is everyone else? (see what I mean on the lonely thing)

  • What do you do when you post something in the forum but no one ever replies?

    How do you feel?

    How do you overcome this?

  • Hi Jarrod

    I'm well thank you. Sorry to hear you've been having a rough time. 

    I've never joined a forum before so I have no basis for comparison, but I've found this one really useful and very interesting.

    When I first suspected I was an aspie and was trying to work stuff out I got helpful advice and feedback, so I've tried to help others when I can by sharing my ideas. Sometimes working through a problem posed by another forum member triggers a "connection" in my mind which leads to a new understanding of something in myself.

    I hope you find this forum to be a bit different to others and that it will make you feel a bit less like you're on your own. 

    Take care

  • Hi Jarrod,

    I hope you are as well as can be expected.

    I'm new to the forums too, having been recently diagnosed with Apsergers at 41.

    I think these forums are lonelier just due to the nature of the condition that brings us here but I've found them a help so far.

    Happy to chat whenever though, so feel free to post on this thread.

    F.

  • Welcome to the Community Jarrod.

    Im sorry to hear you are having such a tough time. I can't guarantee your experience here will be any different. It is a peer lead Community so very much up to the participants. Engaging with people on their issues as well as you own is always a good strategy.  Also please be careful not too disclose too much information about yourself. In this case I have leftyyour blog link up for others to read if they wish. But contact details are not allowed in your posts... Best Wishes Bob Moderator
