    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    HelloWas a member for a while and can't remember my password.What has happened to this board? Where are all the regulars? Dithering Dad, Ad9898, Mr.Broderick, Generali? Gone to pot hasn't it?

    Eh?

    Here is my current assessment of your list.

    DD is still around and posts under a new user name mainly frequenting the pensions and investment boards. I guess he got fed up of being wound up so much in here, he was always prone to starting a fight or two but often ended up the one wound up.

    Ad9898 was banned and returned under a whole host of ID's. He currently doesn't post but this has only been for a few days. He may be back once he hears NDG has popped in, who knows?

    Mr.B. is something of an enigma. He was banned, like Ad, during "Willygate". He too returned with a whole host of names.... (hiding extra ID's had never been his forte).... not currently sure where he is as I haven't been in much over the last 10 days... (edit: actually I thought Afriend was Mr.B??)

    Generali is still here and posting reasoned and constructive posts. He is still in Australia and still rides his bike.


    I guess you knew all that though really, you were just lamenting the passing of time and being a bit nostalgic. You could have posted about any number of posters who have left or post more elsewhere, such is the nature of internet forums I guess.

    So why not now let us in on your past identity? I'm undecided between the enigma mentioned above (which you've denied) and mewbie.

    :confused:

    Lots of people with multiple usernames and personalities, not just this board either.

    Some people are so self obsessed and up themselves it's beyond hilarious !!!!

    Yes, yes and yes!!

    Now to read the rest of the thread.....
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Such a travesty that AD was banned when other posters remain. That;s probably why this board is dying a slow death.
