I was bored and not happy here
I cannot see the comments when I visit it the first time every time. I have to click on one of the top comments and to refresh to see the rest of them.
This is now happening to myself as well! (In trying to access your post, there, Mr. California.)
Gyeeek!/Ghaaaah! (Delete as applicable.)
NAAAAAS... what do you say (tomorrow)...?
I have problem with this thread as well.

Racheal scares me as it looks like she was interested in me and wanted to see my photos.
She said that she already has a boyfriend.
Thank You Kindly, Cassandro. (For some reason, I could not access this Post of yours via the "recent Posts" section. Errors for me go On and on..)
I posted Rules there to draw attention to the duplicate postings, and it worked and Califonia fixed it. But I still do not post to Rachael directly anymore or of late, for NAS has truly "scared me off!" ("Action will be taken" they say!)
Yourself and myself may chat all we want, here, but R might not reply. I shall not discuss that here but might do so upon the other Thread (started by Endymion). As I said, I do not know how to cope with this --- I have the WIT, but you have the WIT and the KNOWLEDGE! And so - Good Fortune and Fair Play to You, I do genuinely say and mean.
Good Luck from me, in attempting to converse with that "OP". As I write this, they have today begun two more Threads. I myself only dare wait and see what happens...
Hi DC - being my usual pedantic self, was it "more than one forum or thread"? I saw a duplicate comment by NAS38000 and California trying to answer each, but only in this thread. Not sure what happened, maybe hit Reply twice? It makes sense to only have the one, so thanks California for removing the duplicate so we know which to reply to... I am not a moderator, nor a lawyer, not a doctor...
As for friends: I've felt very lonely in the past, and sometimes thought I had no friends when it wasn't really true. I think things do get better, particularly if you try a variety of things you might like. Force yourself to take every new opportunity has been a useful principle to me.
NAS Rule Number 5: Please do not post the same message to more than one forum or thread. Duplicate postings may be removed, and may lead to your account being flagged for abuse of the forum.
Edit: Thank You to California.
I, sometimes, feel that I have no friends and rejected and unwanted. You are not alone!
If you would like, I can be your friend.
You will have one friend.
But positive forum and I not happy about here.
It takes time to get to know people here.
Having autism means mistakes get made when talking or writing to others.
All of us on the autistic spectrum are as like brothers and sisters.
We do not always agree, from time to time, but we do like to share our thoughts and feelings in a helpful way together.
This happens very much more often.
Positively :-)
I am simply curious.
Does this apply to private messages?
Consider perhaps that as a community member the rules apply for all aspects of the NAS forum. Personally I both think and feel that private messaging is risky, as the open protection we have together as a community, no longer as much applies.
Risky methinks. Using avatar images is not though risky.
And yours... so much of this community is reciprocal, which is why it works.

Un.
Be.
Lievable.

A NEW THREAD!!!
I posted the two links because of RACHAEL switching between them. It saves having to search a lot. If this carries on, myself or someone else may post the links to ALL of the Rachael Threads....
NAS - Please do not delete them, just lock them, but not yet, depending upon what happens! :-O
Something really strange is going on here.
Now I feel strange about all this situation.
I am also uneasy about all this. I think we are understandably very cautious about the motives of those who post for friends, appearing not to understand but also appear to understand very well
There are some very vulnerable people on these forums, and I count myself among them. I can be very easily taken in if I don't think very carefully first. Part of the nature of being autistic.
Perhaps we will get some indication that these posts from Rachael are all in good faith. But there is something about them which just does not ring true, and her posts seem to confirm our suspicions far more than remove our concerns.
We’re here x and here because we care about you
Thank you so much for your support!

Miss Elephant, and anyone else who may read - I think "something" is going on here - it could be bad, yet also interesting...?!
