Do you think this site not only offers help to autistic people who need practical advice but also facilitates an exchange of thoughts between people who may not have the opportunity to express their inner thoughts elsewhere, and who I have found to be quite bright individuals?

  • Interesting reference "quite bright" I wonder why intelligence needs to come into it at all.? I sometimes lack confidence in sharing my own thoughts because I worry about how I express myself and whether I'm being judged by people I see as more intelligent or articulate. But that doesn't mean I don't have something valuable to say. I wonder if this could link into why lots of people may view a post but maybe like me struggle with the confidence to respond.

    Well said,  . Intelligence is a useful quality and there are many kinds of it. It is often mistaken for articulacy or confidence. Kindness is a more important quality, I have learned.

    I wonder whether the original poster was trying to complement us and maybe say that it was good we had a space where we could express ourselves because what we have to say is important.

    I certainly value your contributions and comradeship, , and I do look out for your posts!

    I really like what you've said about intelligence being different from articulacy or confidence. I think that's something easily overlooked. I agree, kindness is worth so much more.Purple heart
