All you are doing is taking the thread off topic.

think you manage that ALL by yourself

That's just my opinion (again probably wrong) buy hey that's the pack mentality, kick them when they are down. :eek:

I think that it takes more than one person to form a pack - if it's a pack you want, look to yourself and your mates!

It might be better if people used the boards as intended. As martin said when D&D was started, " Please also see the Benefits and Tax Credits board. If you have a question about Benefits you may get a better response there."

Aww chill guys....we all have a different perception of what makes a person disabled, ok in some cases that perception is wrong in others eyes but you have to also take into account the persons personality.

For example, I have arthritis in my spine, knees, ankles, hips, wrists and hands, I have also suffered from mental illness but I do not class myself as disabled (just me personally, others I may see them as disabled...think I am in denial!)

Others, however, would class themselves as disabled with the same problems.

Upbringing and life experiences can alter a way a person will think compared to another person, so if you have spent a long time nursing either in an official capacity in a hospital or for a loved one with a serious illness, or if you have seen a parent not allow a disability to impact on their day to day lives too much (or not make much of it and just gets on and does stuff), then your perception will be different to a person who has never had those experiences.

I always use the example of dyslexia, for some parents it is the end of the world for others like me, it is the least of the worries and inconsequential (I do have dyslexia by the way as does my eldest).

Me? I like to see the discussion from both sides and give allowances to possible background whilst doing so.

There are a few people who frequent this forum and aren't disabled. They're carers to their partner, parents, children, etc. who have disabilities.

Don't you think krisskross could have answered that question without your help? I think you're just looking to start more arguments with me so you can find an excuse to insult me again for no reason.

I feel so sorry for you.

I know it doesn't bother you because you have such an uncaring attitude. People like you don't get upset because you don't have any feelings, I suppose that could be considered your disability. Poor you.

To be fair to SH, I was going to post the same thing.

I initially came to this section for advice regarding my eldest son as we were going through the diagnostic procedure and also because I am a carer to my two other sons.

To be fair to me I did not say you have to be disabled to visit this board.

SingleSue

I know you didn't out and out say it but the inference was there in asking why a non disabled person was visiting a disability board even if that was unintentional.

I was giving my justification of why I started visiting and others could have been similar to mine but whilst here, they also decided to join in some discussions.

I'm not getting at you honestly (or wanting to cause an argument), sometimes the real feeling behind the words are missed in written form and can only be taken at face value...black and white, I was doing my usual and seeing things from both sides.
