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 am an NT single mum with two ASC children.  Many of my friends don't understand ASC and it is extremely difficult talking to them about my worries, concerns. 

    On this forum, I can speak to NT's and ASC people at the same time and get a balanced perspective.  

    My ex's family fight me every step of the way with regards to the parenting of the children and undermine everything I do and it does shake your confidence.  Knowing that other ASC children behave the way my children do speaks volumes in supporting my belief that it's not my parenting that is to blame (although I not naiive enough to say that I am the perfect mum, knowing full well I have made many mistakes and continue to learn).

    Although I have only been on this forum of a few months now, I have noticed a trend in the types of discussions that crop up again and again.  I hope that NAS is taking note of these and flagging these as serious concerns that need addressing.

    Thank you all.
