I would have gladly helped you behind the scenes and defended you if anyone came after you. You posted an excellent post in FAM FF about the eating idiosyncracies of an Autistic child and the information you provided hadn't been put forth by anyone else up until that point. Your ideas and your comments are absolutely worth posting. And even in your most vocal posts in SS, I have yet to see you hurt anyone's feelings. That being said, being straightforward and to the point -- while sometimes hard for some to digest -- usually prevents any misunderstandings. mimi, you have such a wealth of information inside your head. It would be a shame for no one else to know about it and access it. :-) Raven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Mimi, I agree with Raven, I would really like to see you back over on the family forum. You are not the only one who feels scared of parents, they can be scary; but to be honest I kind of getting used to being ignored by most of them. If I did/do manage to rattle their cages and they take something personal, it really says more about them than it does me and yes I have been misinterpretted plenty of times and at times my energy wanes and to be honest I'm feeling rather rung out by the wringer of life at the moment; but I wanted to add how much I personally would appreciate you over there (family forum). I still consider the aspie forums a safer retreat compared to the family forum and I nearly did leave the family forum (or did and rejoined) and even posted my reasons I had left and returned. I hope you would re-consider, like Tom and Raven said they aren't going to let any parents have a go at you. Haven't read the rest of this thread yet, still kind of behind on the posts at the moment :-( " ... <snip> ...

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 " Mimi, I agree with Raven, I would really like to see you back over on the family forum. " Mimi or any other Aspie in this forum who would like to instruct these parents is welcome to do so. I am revamping the Family Forum, however, so for the time being, only Raven and I and Cub will be mods until I can get someone in there who can make the necessary time commitment and who has the qualifications I am looking for. Part of this is due to the success of Midnight In Chicago as well. I am bringing that forum more into alignment with what has been down via the podcasts. To make it more of a instructional venue and less of a meet-up place for parents with Aspies. But I agree. Mimi has a lot of great stuff to share with them as do you .
