    Have you not read the thread, it's one of the first few posts? If you haven't then how can you come to a conclusion that dunroamins post was not offensive?

    I am not attacking you, don't know how you drew that conclusion.

    1- The offending post is deleted so I can't see it
    2 - none of the remaining posts are in any way offensive
    3 - I said that I couldn't comment on the post in question and didn't say it wasn't offensive
    4 - by suggesting that I am taking her side against the 'evidence' is attacking my integrity.

    Hope that explains my position.

    Still there, well unless they posted an earlier comment but the one that is still up is offensive. If they wanted to help and convey the same message they could have done without resorting to such tones.

    I do understand - and believe it or not the post was to help op. they could be worrying themselves for no reason, having the feeling you have been tricked is hard to cope with for anyone. Wondering why did I answer correctly will cause stress. People are saying it could be small talk and ensuring documentation and not to worry.

    I suspect op is worrying hence why out of whole assessment they are the 2 points of concern - their concerns could be unfounded

    I am not worrying. As I have already explained, I am analysing. It's what autistic people like to do. I like to understand everything. Hence I analyse things, to figure them out.

    Please do not give advice based on assumptions. Your assumptions may be wrong, and your advice may consequently be irritating or condescending. If I were worried, I would have said so in the original post.

    There are a lot of panicky-type posts on here. The titles generally go like this:

    ****PLEASE HELP - URGENT!****

    and then the OP says something like: "please help me, I'm in a dreadful state, I need some advice to calm me down."

    But my post does not belong in that category. You will note I never said I was worrying at all. I am not worrying "did I answer correctly?" As far as I am concerned, I answered all the questions correctly, because I told the truth. I am not worrying. I am merely curious.

    Please do not make patronising assumptions and state things about me on my behalf that are untrue.

    Thank you

    Edit: I do understand you are trying to help and be kind, so I am sorry if I seem grumpy or ungrateful. It's just frustrating when people *think* they know what I'm thinking or my motives are, when they really don't! Making assumptions is dangerous unless you ask beforehand to check whether they are correct.
  • bedpotato seems to have had their questions answered so it seems like a good time to close this thread
