Plastic

Thank you for making the effort to reply to this forum, I wish you and your Mother all the best.

Sorry to hear the news. Condolences to your family and friends. He will be missed on the forum.

Bless, bless and bless Plastic, yourself and your daughter for your continued journeys, and you all very much have my condolences for your heart-breaking losses, and my congratulations for your and your daughter’s soul-full gains with Plastic in this life ~ as leads heartfelt into the next and ever onwards.

Let not though the sorrow overcome the joy of life, and allow the pain to pass through the beauty of recollection and the wonder of further thematic journeys to and through Disney Land. 

I am sorry to read of the passing of Plastic. My condolences to you and your daughter. He seemed to be a very intelligent man and he gave wise concise advice on this forum.

Deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family. Plastic and I didn't agree on much in areas outside Autism as we both had opposing views politically and philosophically and that is fine. Most of us have these differences even amongst our own families and friends. So just like family, Plastic was apart of this family online and I'm sure that is how he will be remembered here by myself and others, and in particular, for his illuminating insights and wisdom on the topic of Autism and it's related challenges.

All the best my old sparring partner. Rest in peace.  

So sorry to hear this.  Plastic's presence on these boards has been so much appreciated, his intelligence and wisdom contributed so much.  I do hope that his contributions will remain here, even if the account is closed, but whatever happens, please know that he was an extremely valuable and helpful group member who will not be forgotten.   

Thank you for letting us know. I'm glad that we had the chance to meet Plastic and have many interesting discussions with him. My condolences to you and your daughter. 

Energy cannot be destroyed, instead it remains as part of the universe, until it is needed once more.

Thank you for letting us know and condolences to you and your family.

Hi all,

I'm actually Plastic's daughter. I've had this account for a long time now - he was always telling me about the discussions on here, so I used this account to have a look sometimes and be nosy. He really did enjoy talking to everyone on here and offering help. The number of times he and I had discussions about the things he'd seen on here, and how often he wanted my views on those things (then turning into multiple hour long debates), is incredible.

Your condolences are all seen and appreciated. I am so glad that he was able to help so many people, even in this little niche part of the internet. He was so passionate about using what he learned through raising me, and analysing for himself, to share information.

We will all remember him. 

(Totally understand this seems bit odd considering I have never posted, but I always saw this as his space. If anyone is doubting who I am, I can probably find some kind of way to provide proof of who I am.)

Edit: I understand that Plastics account is being terminated. I don't know if that means all his posts will be deleted, but in the case it does, I think something he wrote on here a few months ago needs to be preserved:

'I am an Apollo Saturn V 1st Stage,

I am strong and powerful but incredibly fragile.

I am as bright as the sun.

I have lifted an immense payload to stratospheric levels against all the opposing forces that the entirety of planet Earth could muster.

I have performed faultlessly.

I have set my crew on their trajectory to the stars.

I am spent.

My mission is complete.

I will fall back and be consumed.'

I only knew him a few months but he was such a positive influence on this forum and always gave good advice. He will be missed by us all.

Dear Mrs Plastic, thank you for informing us of this tragic news. I offer you and your daughter my sincere condolences. I am deeply saddened to hear of James's passing, and I will keep my memories of our brief conversations together close to my heart. My only regret is that I never got to meet him in real life, but even so, his online presence was one of stoicism, clarity and genuine concern for the welfare of people on here. 

Sorry to hear the very sad news about Plastic. He was a valued member of the online community who provided a lot of support and advice to many members and will be missed very much.

From myself and all the moderators.

our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Plastic was a great personality on the forum he was incredibly interesting, intelligent and well informed.

I will miss seeing him on here and reading what he had to say.

If you see this Mrs Plastic I hope you and your daughter can find some peace, even though he isn’t no longer physically with you he will still be alive in your mind. Please do let him live in your mind think about what he would say and what he would and what he would be up to.

My condolences and best wishes of as much peace and comfort you can find.

I am so sorry to hear! I haven't been here but under a year - his advice always seemed incredibly charitable and thought-full. I wish you a good deal of comfort at this time. x

Mrs Plastic,

My heart goes out to you both. Plastic was a great character on this forum. When I was questioning if I was on the spectrum, he always had wise words to say. Then when I was finally diagnosed at 46, he offered his support. For this I will always be truly grateful. X
