Time out

Martian Tom
over 5 years ago

Dear folks,

I have requested that my account be deleted, and this was confirmed to me - but it appears to be still active for the time being.

I just wanted to explain to you all - as I should have done before - that I need to take time out from the community.  Autism defines my life, of course, but I was beginning to feel that I was letting it take over my life.  I have autism, I work with autistic people, I talk about autism all the time, I write about autism all the time.  I think I've allowed my life to get out of balance with it, and I feel the need to restore some of that balance.

I have recently rejoined a writers' website that I used to use many years ago.  I did this as a way of trying to encourage myself to get back to doing some writing - something that's been missing from my life for a while (aside from the autism-related blog!)  Even on there, though, my first few posts were about Asperger's.  This was actually useful, because a lot of people seemed interested - but either knew very little about the subject, or had some of the usual misconceptions.  So, I've been able to offer some insights and elucidation.  But I want to focus more on other things, and need to give this a rest - as we all do from time to time.

I wish you all well and thank you all for your support.  It has meant a lot to me, and has kept me going.  I'm very grateful to you all.

I'll re-register once I feel more able to contribute usefully to the forums.

Best wishes,

Tom x

    ...Ah, so *this* Thread is the one which is receiving last messages transmitted from Martian Tom, before He and Miss Daisy re-board the Inter-Forum Spaceship, to leave for the Zone known as "Time out"...?
    I had already sent "Best Wishes" to another SpacePort here, and looked around one near to it, but the "Deleted User"-Zone is a restricted Area. In any case, this is my waving my Handkerchief in "Au Revoir" also... *sniffle!*

    (To confess, I might quit someday, though I would do as many others did, and leave my account intact. Lately I just take short breaks, also as many others do. Yet as always, my old devices, might "quit" me at anytime...(!))

    Last Advice: When adjusting your Cat to a new Forum, be sure to do so gradually, and make sure that Fresh Drinking Water is always available.

    As always, A Grand Good Fortune To You, Good Sir, and to Madame Daisy, in whatever you both do.   :-)
