You will find there will be times of large numbers of posts at once and dry spells, but the forum is quite populated.

my reply;

1 yes, that is certainly the case!

2. Raven wrote a post which I found really helpful;

3. Like any other 'community,' a forum needs participation of it's members to remain viable.

4. We each have varying amounts of 'energy' that we can use for communication.

5. When I joined this forum, it was late autumn, and my energy was approaching it's winter high. Now that the weather is too hot, my energy has fallen, but I still read the posts, and reply occassionally.

6. Hi to the 'newbies': I am a middle age woman who possesses many traits of Aspergers Syndrom, have not been diagnosed.

This forum is enjoyable to me because of the opportunity to learn, and to dialogue with people who have different insights. ( also because I don't 'do' 'face time' well, but do enjoy dialoguing in written form). Some of the members may seem intimidating, but hopefully you won't let that cause you to hesitate posting. we are all from different backgrounds and different abilities.

In my experience, the moderators are fair and reasonable.
