Sounds like a break is the best thing for you. When you return, try and avoid topics like this were you can easily get upset.

All the best

Welcome aboard. I rember what it was like at that age (I was 5 when diagnosed) Very confusing and frightening. You have my full support if you ever wanted a chat about it.
And if you wanted to send some of your baking for me to give a review on...............

Well, as some of you know, I'm due to go to india in march with my friend who has very advanced cancer. Last night i thought really hard about this, and talked it through with my mum (who is a nurse) She said, If i get ill out there, i'll get really ill. If she gets ill, it will kill her. Now i couldn't care less about what happens to me, all i care about is her having the time of her life, but can she have the time of her life with that sword dangling above her head? That plus my mother also mentioned there's no way she would get insurance, and the requred injections.
I don't want to rob her of this experience, but i also cant have it on my conscience if she dies out there. (immagine the 8 hour flight back to tell her parents the news)
In other words, this situation is renting space in my head, it nags me constantly. Is it worth the gamble? I might get ill out there i might not, and vice versa. We might both get away with it, but if we both dont one of us will perish (and i'll be the guy that has to live with that forever)
What to do, what to do........
I'm always told to throw all my worries at gods feet, but when a situation is this real, i can't seem to do it.

. And I hate sales staff coming up to you every 5 minutes saying "can I help you?"
Perhaps I'm just a miserable old humbug..
No i also hate that. If i wanted help i'd ask for it, lol.

If you wish to change anything especially where aspies are concerned you have to change things gently and slowly so as to really go largely unnoticed, make sweeping changes over night and people will kick up for that again is human nature and it is not just aspie for there is many an NT does not like change for traditionalism is for a reason, people get used to what they know, it is comfortable to them.
I could give you examples in society where change over a long period of time is being implemented, through ideology but I won't bore you with that, but you do understand what is happening on this forum is politics.
Good post, and taken on board.

observe the saying;
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink
and further observe;
Every Great Journey starts with the first step
and I will go on with ;
Rome wasn't built in a day
That being by listening to users and what they want out of their forum you stand to make progress and perhaps unconsciously invite more participation in the process.
Or is it;
This forum is not the user's forum, in which case those that come here just have to put up and shut up if they want to use the forum because a minority control everything that is said ?
Choose which way you wish to go as with it users will also choose which way they wish to go, it is a very simple equation, do you serve the users or do lord over them ?
These are all things i have pondered over the last year or so. I came on expecting to change peoples views, just like that, but it wasn't the case. Me being a typical asperger guy, i had my typical tunnel vision, and could only see from my perspective. One big thing this forum thought me was to see from others perspectives.

I have noticed AS-warrior has been able to modify this even before he became a mod
Yeah, if you go onto edit your profile, and scroll down, you should see a blank box with the word 'members title' you can type into that box whatever you like.
-
Well when i started i wanted to change everyones views. In fact sa skimrande, i have an old thread you might be interested in called warriors mission, changing your view on aspergers forever. it was my first thread, don't know if you caught it or not, i'll dig it out if you like.
Going back to the main point, i got more than i expected with some of the support and help i have recived. and i quess friendship was a good bonus. Espeshilly the OP to this topic.
-
Much to consider here, good points. I must point out that, the rules arn't new. Then new pin in the general disscussion is a clone copy of the rules that have always been here. Since they are hard to spot, i just posted them up as a point of reference. Nothing has changed.

Cameraderie (sorry about the spelling lol)

I am teading a line that would be banned on other forums.
It's true, on one i'm a member of it doesn't take much, on there you really have to triple check your posts. this forum will never get like that. (i hope)
-
As suze said, this will go no were lancs, message me. sa skimrande do what pleases you.

I haven't even unpacked my mod hat yet, this is all too much for a first day. Basically what's happend is, this forum hasn't been moderated for sometime. even now with mods this is still holiday camp compaired to another forum i go on. By now sa skimrande and lancslad would have been banned, or at least recived infractions, for arguing with the moderators. I go back to my origanal point, and that is this forum hasn't been moderated in along time, plus aspies don't like change. I won't, but i do know of a moderator or 2 that will have no qualms in banning you if you keep up. Stop making a mountain out of a molehill, and just take the warning or whatever it was on the chin. I get infractions on the other place just for blocking out swear words!
More importantly my face is up here lads! stop looking at my mod tag and look at my name tag A-S warrior! The main thing im going to do as a mod is kill spam, and work with the rules, that is all.
And lads, first day yeah? cut me some slack and give me a chance before you attack me with your weird and winding posts. This argument will ultimaltley go no were, beacuse regardless as to what you or i think, there are rules in place, (which i'm revising) of which i'm bound to now as a member of staff on this forum. Again before you attack this point ive been doing this for a matter of hours and am still learning, and learning is what i'm doing! Even harder when the only veteran mod left is suze.
And lancslad you know me better that anyone else on this forum, you kknow my strenghs and weaknesses and i get the feeling your exploting those. #
So much for being mates eh? the only thing that's changed is your own perspection of me beacuse i am now a moderator. Never mind the fact i'm still the same guy i was 48 hours ago.

What issues? All ive done is pin the rules other than the locked topic. Anything else is news to me. I've been posting as normal other than that.
-
I believe the member who started the thread asked for it to be deleted .
With it being my first night i was being careful. I locked it until a decicion was made, and then the OP requested it to be removed. (she was happy with that) case closed. It would of been re opened at a later date if it was the consensus.
-
Guest's (we do get a few) who could be anyone could be reading, they could be children. All i can say to you is read the rules. (they maybe in need of edititing) but they are the rules none the less, and that is what i have been instructed to follow.

Does anybody else find town centres too much? All i ever seem to see, when walking through town is a blurry mix of coulors. I can't focus on what i want to buy, and all the shops look the same. some shops look totally pointless. And then there's the people that ambush you in the street with flyers.
Give me a quite little row of village shops anyday. At least then i can see the wood through the trees.
-
Who was that asking?
Everybody i assume.

I found that the teachers 'caused the most problem for me at school. My mum always believed that I could do well so I felt supported at home but at school all I would get told is that I was a waste of space, and how was I ever going to get any where in life if I carried on this way etc. it's crazy the stuff that teachers think they can say to kids!
Exactly it. I also found teachers to be very rude, and quite aggressive. A bit stupid, since there trying to teach us how to be well mannered sucessful adults. Funny how i left school, and then started to find all this ability, and talent. All school did was supress me. I don't agree with schooling.
