    you and your old cronies are the worst offenders


    If Iam classed as one of the 'old cronies', can I say here and now that I have abused no-one, just given my opinion. It does not turn into abuse just because you don't happen to agree with it.

    All the pm's ive had from people telling me to ignore you & your cronies would suggest otherwise. :rotfl:

    Probably balance out with the PMs of support some of us have received saying that people are too scared of you lot to join in the discussion.

    I'm just here to keep the peace...I hate arguments!

    I think everyone has the right to express their opinion and as I said on another thread, we will all pretty much have different experiences which will influence our opinions. None of those differing opinions are any less valid than someone elses, no matter how unpalatable they may be.

    I'm not sure which 'clan' I belong to as I can see merits in the discussions from each angle, points I can agree with from all posters etc.
    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.

    I think it best to lock this thread pending review by the main team.

    However I would urge all members to report posts they feel are abusive as neither me nor the team read all the threads on here. You can report a post by clicking on the red triangle on the post.
