whenever we get on of these college or Uni students wanting us to fill out a surveymonkey we could fill in their surveys with utter nonsense?what do you think??
Looking back I can see that the Mods began dialogue and asking for comments last November. This same thing has happened again very recently in reponse to recent troubles.
But the requests for comments and thoughts give no clear review or decision making process, thus its not clear what is up for change and what is not, where the bottom line is and who decides where it is. It adds up to a lack of transparency.
Autistic people value process and logic more than the general population, indeed for some of us its essential if we are to make sense of a situation. Its unfair to ask for comments and thoughts, some of which may take a long time to write, if there is no visible process of change for these to feed in to. It encourages a feeling of ownership which is not ours to have
I can also see no appreciation of how stressful and debilitating it is to come here and be unable to avoid seeing the constant pleas for help with surveys and the stream of requests for help from distressed parents. Some of us may want to help with these sometimes but we should have a choice about whether we see them. We aren't a free resource to offset cuts to the helpline.
