Any autism friendly forums please?

Hi,

I'm sick of being attacked by moderators. In the first instance with petty name calling from both sides, maybe it was fair. But apparently even asking another poster to answer a few questions is considered a heated debate.

If this forum is for neurotypical relatives only, can the NAS specify that it's not autism friendly please. The time of those with autism is just as precious as that of NAS volunteers.

I was under the impression that an autism forum should be primarily for those with autism. We have problems with all issues listed as categories. But where do we fit in any of them, if we're denied a voice. If there's a need for parents or relatives to ask questions, then shouldn't there be a separate forum specifically for neurotypicals or those easily offended.

  • A lot of my posts have been deleted. With only minor issues wrong with them. For instance a word such as ignorant was used. But the rest of the post contained nothing offensive. Yet it was all deleted. And in many cases I'd spent a long time forming my response. Due to my autism & other problems it can take voice recognition a long time to write what is being said.

    Recently I received an email from a moderator, after some of my posts were deleted. It basically told me my post had been in breach of policy & had been removed. After this I refrained from using any words such as ignorant. My posts were within guidelines so were other posters. But today we still received an email berating us for a so called 'heated debate'. It threatened an inability to post, if I made similar posts.
