Thanks for responding

[Guest guest]

The board has indeed been quiet lately. It usually is on weekends.

Additionally, Inger and I have been invloved in other board and

member related issues but our attentions ought to turn back here now

soon.

Personally, I am more interested in quality posts than quantity and

it seems that that is what we have here for the most part.

I want to state here and now that I strongly applaud any other Aspie

board for their efforts in serving the Aspie community at large, but

Inger and I have decided that we are not interested in trying to

satisfy everyone in the Aspie community with every type of board or

board offering. We would like our board to be one that is based on

friendship, respect, and mutual support.

I believe I am correct in saying that everyone who posts here feels

at home with everyone else and this is how I want it to stay. To

date the only major conflict we have had on this board was between

Edan and another board administrator, and that was comparatively

slight.

When I come here, I feel like we are all sitting down and having

coffee or just talking quietly amongst outselves, exchanging

viewpoints and or offering advice. This, in my opinion at least,

ought to be the nucleus of Aspergian Culture and a baseline for

anything else that is created here.

As I have said before, everyone is free to come and go as they

please. There is no pressure to participate because when we feel

the most free with ourselves, we are at our best. But I do enjoy it

the most when we get some good conversation going too. Maybe if some

of the lurkers joined in that would add some new conversation into

the mix?

Hi,

just wanted to say I really like this place, it took a bit of getting

used to; but I feel kind of safe here and therefore at relative ease.

So in short - thanks

Hi everyone, I agree, with just keeping us together the way we are at

least for now, if we wanted to have a second message board to answer

NT, Parent and teacher questions I can see doing that, but I feel

that I am so broken apart by society ( and having to pretend to be

normal, having eye contact (I look at eyebrows and noses, or the

little veins in the eyes, no one seams to notice, I almost wasn't

diagnosed as aspergers because of this), controling my emotions, etc)

for us to actually find a place to belong and be ourselves, Open

honest, and not afraid to say something and hurt someones feelings, I

hate to see it broken up into pieces. I simple feel the pieces won't

equal the whole, that something will be lost, and Im afraid it will

be the heart of the group.

I wonder if there is a way to cut up the message board into sections,

like a general board for everyone and a mens and womans, or adults

and kids, that kind of thing, but keep it all in one group, Msn does

this I don't know if yahoo does.

Before I get too verbose and explain the same thing five times, Im

gonna, go

take care

,

Thanks for responding so quickly to my request to assist this woman who

lives in the Atlanta area. From what I have been able to assess by

asking questions she has a frontal lobe injury. Could you contact me

with your phone number, I would like to provide this lady with as many

resources as possible since they might not all be feasable for where

she lives.

I an an RN Neurofedback practitioner an dI can't thank you enough for

responding so quickly to my request for referrals.
