Finished, pt 2

I’m not going to put the same things as last time, because apparently someone thought that my last post, with the same title, was ‘abusive’. I was making a point about how people only notice me when it benefits them, *removed due to rule 7*

”let’s just ignore that this person clearly is in a crisis, and instead of giving them some reassuring words of comfort, I will report their post because it makes me feel uncomfortable whilst I am eating my third bag of cheesy fries from the chippy”.

  • Dear William,

    I can understand your frustrations over the post being labelled as 'abusive', the online community team are working on this as we know that a lot of the posts are flagged to moderation and are not abusive but individuals experiencing crisis or distress. On behalf of the moderation team I am sorry that this message has not been resolved yet and I will flag it the online community manager.

    I want to let you know that members of the community and the moderation do care, and this post was most likely flagged due to members being concerned about your safety. 

    Thank you for sharing how you are feeling in both of your posts- it sounds like you have been having a really difficult time. The National Autistic Society does not currently operate a crisis or emergency service. If you’re finding it hard to cope or have thoughts of harming yourself, please seek help. If you feel you [or anyone else] is at risk of immediate harm, dial 999 or contact one of the mental health crisis lines listed on our Urgent Help Page: https://www.autism.org.uk/what-we-do/help-and-support/urgent-help. You could call your GP and ask for an urgent appointment – they can help you get the right support.

    If it’s not an emergency but you’re still struggling, speaking to a health professional can help. If your GP is closed, you can call 111 for NHS support. In England, Wales and Scotland, you can now choose option 2 to speak directly with mental health professionals: www.nhs.uk/.../.

    Here are some other organisations that offer free, confidential support:

    · Samaritans – Call 116 123, 24/7

    · SANEline – 0300 304 7000 (4.30 PM–10.30 PM daily)

    · Shout – Text 85258, 24/7

    · Mind Infoline – 0300 123 3393 (Mon–Fri, 9 AM–6 PM)

    We are thinking of you and hope things feel better soon,

    I just wanted to flag that I edited some of the content due to Rule 7: Be respectful in discussions
    Disagreements are fine, but personal attacks, insults, and swearing are not. Respect other viewpoints and avoid escalating arguments.

    Best wishes,

    Olivia Mod
