I don't feel like truly understand what Autism feels like unless you're either someone within the Autistic Spectrum (or related) or know and/or care for someone who is. You can have an idea of what it is like and can know th symptoms, but actually living it is an entirely different thing and the thing that makes it so hard to handle, is that everyone with Autism has it differently.

This is my status. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.

You truly never know what someone is going through unless you have been in their shoes.

I used to work for a charity that worked with children with Autism. Had many conversations with parents and the responses were so similar, that they felt alone and felt that no one could help -Many of our parents at the end of the week with our charity went home with hope that there are people there who do understand and can help provide the tools that both the parents and the children need!

Thank you for sharing.

My eldest doesnt have full blown autism but she is on the spectrum. She has a few sensory issues.

How Alex reacted is exactly how I feel amongst crowds such as that shopping mall or on public transport. I just have to get away. At times like this, I wish I had a gun so that I could shoot everyone.

I no longer venture out alone. Yet I am deemed 'capable of work'.

Hi! I was actually diagnosed with Aspergers recently and Autism at a young age. So if you want to know what it feels like, just ask me.

Awesome to see someone else with Asperger's here, Alex!

I was diagnosed, maybe, 4 years ago now? Something like that anyway.

I'm also sort of strange because of it. Like I'd stare at the ceiling for hours imagining what it would look like with 4 beams instead of 3 and all the patterns and other strange things.

Alex: Hey! I'm back. Just to clear up confusion I have decided to go by Alex because I like Isabel but I think Alex sums up my Pangender identity better. Plus I've always liked the name. Sept 15, 2017 23:50:17 GMT

Devon: Welcome back, Alex! I've also changed my name to Devon recently

Gregory: Oh cool, I am going to stick with Gregory. Sept 20, 2017 4:25:13 GMT

Devon: NEW PROJECT:

lovenothate.mozello.co.uk/ Sept 21, 2017 11:38:08 GMT *

Gregory: I took a quick overview on the project, it looks cool.

Sept 22, 2017 2:24:53 GMT

Gregory: So Devon, what made you start a new project? Sept 22, 2017 4:56:37 GMT

Devon: Gregory, Love Not Hate was what I was originally aiming for with The Rainbow Community. Allow me to explain. The purpose of both TRC and LNH are to spread kindness, support others and be positive to ourselves and others, LNH just has a bit more. Sept 22, 2017 11:30:17 GMT *

Devon: Meaning, whilst I love our TRC Community, LNH has much more information, will have a lot more resources available and I can generally do more with it since it’s an actual website and not just a forum. Sept 22, 2017 11:31:31 GMT

Gregory: Okay, so what's going to happen to TRC? Sept 22, 2017 19:53:26 GMT

Devon: Either nothing or something which crossed my mind was linking the two by using TRC as the “Community Forum” for LNH, but LNH is brand new and TRC has been here for months and although both are about kindness, TRC is more so just for support and socialising Sept 22, 2017 21:11:30 GMT

Gregory: Okay.

Well I support you no matter what you decide. Sept 22, 2017 21:14:41 GMT

Alex: Uh... what happened? Jan 1, 2018 1:28:08 GMT

Alex: And... So, did you use to go by Scott? I'm so confused! When's the last time someone updated this forum? Jan 1, 2018 1:30:56 GMT

Devon: WE HAVE MOVED TO: lovenothate.boards.net/ Jan 21, 2018 20:00:19 GMT
