Thank you, True Colours and yes, I did feel upset enough to leave. I am also humbled that you might have missed me if I had, so I thank you for that too.
Dancing Queen, again I am humbled by your supportive words, especially as you include my favourite characters. It's very nice to hear that sometimes, the things we say make sense to someone.
I think the idea for a section solely given over to the 'mature autistics' is a good one. For my part, I do sometimes forget that struggling parents see these posts, and young people too, so I agree that there's a certain readership who are sensitive to the kind of robust interchanges that we need. A timely reminder that different people come on here with different needs, and perhaps the NAS should consider more useful ways, such as different sections, to enable people to contact and talk with the most appropriate others. A private message facility would be nice, too!
