  Back to Autism Information >> Next Topic

I started posting here a while ago and it was soo much help to me.  But lately, I don't have time to come around and when I do have computer time, i'd rather be around more supportive and less judgemental ppl.  I don't think i'll be even lurking around here any more.   I need support and encouragement; I don't feel that is the purpose of this board anymore unfortunately.

My time is precious.  I can't waste it in a place that frustrates me...some of you i'll miss...others well,

I think you should come back! Not all of us are judgemental- I try to ignore those that are and realize that we may not all agree but that we are all here for the same reasons- we want to help each other to raise our kids who have autism or be more informed to help others cope with it. I know it can be frustrating at times with people being just that, human, and saying what may not be the best things- but I hope to see you around in the future!Me too, I hope you decide to stay (((((((Heather))))))))) Some of the comments have been questionable, but overall I'm just glad to get all the good tips and information. 

Please STAY,us newbies need your HELP,Senior members are the most help,

ONE BAD APPLE,dont spoil the whole bunch!!.

What happened, hon??????

I must have missd something. Please stay...

Please stay. I feel the same but there are many good thing I get here. I just don't pay attention to the others.What happened here? Heather, I understand as I feel the same way as you! This board was supposed to support others but it seems it has not done that for me latley. So far after one post I have had assumptions made, and also made to feel as though because my child is HF evidently that is not ENOUGH!  I am who I am you know! I dont have a law background and cannot talk everyone into things but I know what is right in my heart. Some here need to learn that Autism can make people have sour souls. This is not the case for me, no matter what type of child I have. My kids are the most precious gift I have ever recieved. I am not the one in control of my life. I answer to someone else. One day we all will. I hope you find the answers and your children stay well. I will miss some of you who supported me.Enough is enough!I'm still pretty new here, and don't get involved too much, but I can tell all of you that I've been on many boards for many reasons and there are NO boards where people don't get offended or angry at one another. I personally wouldn't leave a board because of one unsatisfactory post, but I'm so used to the way boards are...I kind of take the good with the bad. We are different people from different walks of life with different experiences and we have good days and bad days, and we don't always post when we are at our best. And we don't have the benefit of others hearing the tone of our voice or seeing our facial expressions. I guess that's why people tend to really get angry at one another on message boards. Any other board will have the same problem. Never posted on one that didn't have quarrels at times. Good luck to anyone who leaves, but I don't think it's necessarily a good idea. There IS a lot of support and good info here.I just got home from a four day stay at the hospital.  What the #$%&! happened?  I agree that all boards have their problems, and like Traci, I have also received unfair treatment from a select few for having the audacity to have a HF child.  The many outweigh the few, and I will continue to come here. Karen -- Hope you're OK after your hospital stay and that your kids dealt with your absence fine.

Traci & Heather please don't leave us.  There are many here who really care and enjoy hearing from each of you.  My ds is HF too!  I have no idea what happened, I guess I missed it but please reconsider and stay. 

Karen are you ok??? 

Traci: I don't post here often at all. My child, may have some form of high functioning autism. I just want to tell you (I hope you read this) that your posts have meant a lot to me. Your daughter's story has had an impact on my life and you have given me wisdom, encouragement and even books to read on asperger's and autism, and mostly, you have opened your heart to share your story here to encourage others. Thank you. I just want you to know, I appreciate your encouragement and I always look forward to reading how Ashytn is doing. May you be blessed in your life's journey.

Someone once said to me, if you splash a diamond with mud, it's still a diamond. Thank you for shining!

I hope that people don't leave.  As a professional and not a parent, I have been enlightened in a way that I never could have doing something else.  I have begun to look at my students in a whole new light.  I have realized that they are somebody's child, and not just a file in my drawer with tons of paperwork and so much documentation to collect on them throughout the year.  I was honestly thinking the other day about how I feel a change in myself at school.  Not that I was bad or anything, but I do realize after hearing your stories and advice, that my children do have parents that care and love them.  Sometimes those parents are giving all they can and understanding all they can.  And their child is THIER child.  So, please stay and don't go.

I will have to say that I thought I missed something as well, but when I searched for post from hope4jackson I couldn't find anything that actually HAPPENED.  May the poster was just here reading and got discouraged after reading, not necessisarily because of direct things aimed at them. 

Whatever the case, I encourage you parents to stay and keeping teaching me and everyone else.

((((((((( HOPE )))))))))) There are times when we just need to leave...not altogether, BUT to give ourselves a break!  I hafta do that quite a bit..can't help it!!!  I feel as though I am living a nightmare...hoping to wake up "some" day.  It's hard..the hardest damn thing I hadda to do in my life!!!  Just KNOW that there are "some" ppl in here who not only care about YOU, but also "truly" understand!!!  :)

Traci, please don't go, I love reading about you and beautiful Ashtyn.
((((((HUGS)))))))

hope
