Just an idea, but what about having a section exclusively for adults and the for children problems?

Hi Goatworshiper
As an adult recently diagnosed with AS, I often find a lot of the discussions on this site are geared towards parents with queries regarding their children and are not really geared towards me as a single person, so I would say your idea for separate adult/child sections could work in theory. However, in practise, it is a "community" site and I feel we, as adults, should be there to offer support to the parents requesting advice as we have that knowledge and experience of what it's like to be "different" - and perhaps there are quite a few of us adults on this very site that feel their own situations could have been made easier had we as "lost" children, or our parents had access to such a wonderful network of information.
