Any autism friendly forums please?

ClaireHig

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.

    ClaireHig I sympathise. This has happened before, last year several respected and valuable forum members of several years standing were no longer allowed to post here. There was no swearing, abuse or other bad behaviour, they just expressed views in a way that isn't allowed here.

    We've asked before for a separate forum for autistic people only but this was refused

    Thank you. Yes, I just found this out from another thread. I wouldn't have even visited this site if I'd have known. I'm off elsewhere now, it's anti-autistic here. This site reminds me of my life as a child, with forced conformation. Where my voice was silenced & I wanted to die inside.
