Valuable Resource

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?

Parents

  • 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.

    I'm sure it is. And some might not like to write as they lack confidence in grammar, spelling or giving out ideas and opinions. I can be a scary thing to do. As I get older, I find I need to look things up more often - but there's no shame in that. It's a very human thing. There are many valid reasons but this site allows for all - which is why I love to browse here as well as to post. I don't always feel like replying to posts but still enjoy reading them.
