Need to take an indefinite break

firemonkey

Things have been said here that I find triggering, and not supportive of those who are disabled. Ideally  I'd block, but that is not an option. Therefore I've been left with no choice but to take an indefinite break. I will check  periodically to see if it has,for me, returned to being  a pro disabled environment.

    I hope you're okay.  If something I've said has been offensive, I take responsibility and apologise as I'm not aware of it.  I think the nature of Autism can cause communication challenges and I hope there wasn't nastiness on here.  I feel I've missed something and hope it was a misunderstanding.... I just read through the link Debbie posted on here and see that it wasn't anything to do with what I've said, it was a political debate.  I think it's in my best interest to leave too.  I wish I was as resilient as you Debbie and able to do the same but I'm a sensitive soul so will only end up eventually getting hurt which I want to prevent.  It's been nice seeing folks on here again and I've enjoyed it but I agree with Debbie this forum can be a hostile place.  I'm sure many of us are here to avoid feeling that.

    I have avoided reading this thread until now but having read it I have just come back briefly to say that your post saddened me.

    I am not as resilient as I may appear to you hence my departure once again (although at present I am keeping an ID).

    I wish you all the very best for the future. 

    Take care Bouquet
