This might make it easier.

Hi

I notice when using the fourm that it is not always easy to tell 'who' someone is. Or to explain it I mean are they someone with autim, a paret/carer, someone that works with people with autism etc.

Many people start their posts by saying which of the above they are but I think it would be helpful to have this information from the people who reply to posts too. Would it be possible to have a it included next to the persons username on the right in the same gray bar at the top of each post. 

I just think it would really help to know if the post was from someone with autism who know's what it is like or from a parent who knows what to do, etc..

Any chance of this happening?

  • I just find it really hard sometimes to work out who someone is so I know what you mean autismtwo. Like you say sometimes I read posts by parens and they are saying things like 'my child thinks this' how do they know! To me no-one can know what it's like to have autism unless they have autism, which is why their is a big difference in posts that come from people with autism compared to those without autism. 
    Which would be the reason I asked if it was possible to know the diference. Also some additional info could be included such as from parents their children and ages and if they do/do not have autism, or from people with autism their age and age diagnosed etc..
