What does the community mean to you?

Hi all,
 
You're probably aware that our online community is funded by charitable donations. To raise money for our services, such as our online community, it's helpful to let people know the difference a service can make. 
 
If you've got a few minutes, it'd be really helpful if you could let us know what our community means to you. We'll be using the responses here as part of future fundraising appeals, but it'll be anonymous. If you do comment here, I'll take it that you're happy for us to use your responses. Alternatively you can let us know by email  - mystory@nas.org.uk
 
 
Some news
-We're evaluating private messaging at the moment to see if it's feasible. I'm very much up for having this functionality, but there's a few hurdles. 
-We're in the process of training new moderators, which should help with the spam/research posts.

    I have two children diagnosed with autism. My son is severe. My daughter high functioning. I have had to fight to get her support. When it felt like the world was against me, people on this forum were there for me. This gave me the strength to continue to fight to get my daughter the support she needs and deserves. When my son was formally diagnosed 2 days after his 3rd birthday, I couldn't stop crying. The support from this forum helped me dry my tears. The world would be a much lonelier place for people affected by autism if we didn't have this forum.
