Is anyone listening out there?

Happened to log on about lunchtime today to see that there were 254 people looking, highest I've personally seen - others may have seen larger numbers. Usually I've been quite impressed if we pass 180 and as I write its nearly 150 (at 8.30 pm on a Sunday).

But who are these watchers?  What are they watching?  Has the Santa is Silly debate drawn in the crowds?

Are these parents? People on the spectrum? Or are they medical/psychology/psychiatry observers?

As I've pointed out before we cannot log in to the professionals' forum as incognito observers. We'd have to go through the palaver of trying to log on with a name and password (which so far has defeated me - well I am usually flustered and floored by such things).

I just feel I ought to bring in an extra large supply of peanuts if I'm going to be sat here performing longer than usual......

  • Hi -203 as I type.  I haven't a clue about the numbers, so maybe the nas cd let those interested know how it works, number-wise.  I do know that more people visit a site without ever joining it.  They come to get info + when they think they've got what they were looking for they stop or visit now + then.  They cd be autistic people, parents, friends, husbands, wives, siblings, care workers, researchers, etc.  Maybe some days/nights are busier than others?  I do think it's a good thing that people can visit.  When my son was little in the 1980s access to infor/support on line just wasn't there.
