Gee, I can get " intellectual stimulation " a thousand places...

I think the reason she felt no support is because she was so

distant...this is a group of FRIENDS, in my view...in fact that is

what I love about this list; you can say what you feel, you don't

debate all the intellectual garbage, you can waste space being silly

(and get the feeling that you may have brightened up someone's day).

And, I think the " girly-girly " stuff is the best support there

is...last thing I need is one more round of the latest studies on

guts and brains. The thing most parents of kids with autism miss out

on is the chance to feel " normal " ...that's what you get here.

You know..I'm not even sure If I know who this was..:??????? I know

lately I've missed a lot of posts, but I've read what I could, but I

just don't recall...

Did she even READ the description for this list? Doesn't sound like

it to me! This is NOT the site for technical stuff 24/7. This is

about living insane lives and trying to keep our own shreds of

sanity. Yes, aparently we were not well suited! LOL

hahaha, i've never been on that list, but from what i've heard of it, she'd be

PERFECT!

That's what happened to me. This list is exactly what I was looking for. I

had no friends, a sick husband and a family in denial. I was doing

everything for everyone. I had to information and no idea where to go. If

it hadn't been for you girls I just wouldn't have been able to go on. I

really honestly mean that. Each and every one of you has in some way touched

my life and someone given me the strength to go on and keep helping my

daughter.

I love you all! G

Yup. I wrote her back and just suggested helpfully that she sub to the St

Thanks, Raena. From day one, that was always my mission for this list. To

create a parenting group just like the NTs get -- without all the yak about

therapies and treatments and causes and cures and studies and research and

the latest findings...all that stuff is welcome in a personal experience

context, but all I wanted was a place to be parents FIRST -- a spectrum

parents second.

Thanks for writing that -- it helps me to know that it's still working. :-)

You know, that might be a good list for her...maybe she's just not at

a place where she can relax and say, " This is my life " . I know I

spent a three or four years cramming my brain with everything I could

find on sensory integration, dyspraxia, speech, diets, autism, and so

on...the knowledge made me feel a sense of control in all the

craziness.

Finally, I just got saturated; I would go to those lists and I

couldn't read it anymore. I wasn't finding the " support " I needed

anymore, even though they'd been a lifeline to me before. I got

tired of listening to people ripping into each other over

therapies...I got tired of reading notes from supermoms who were

gonna cure their kids and looked down on folks who weren't willing to

try EVERYTHING...I got tired of the whole autism/therapy community.

But I still needed some form of emotional outlet. I tried joining

some craft lists (still on a couple), and that didn't do it, because

I couldn't relate to their lives real well...I realized that I needed

to communicate with people who understood my life...but I was tired

of always *working* at being a parent of a child with a disability.

Could be that a time will come when she just needs to chat...she

might be back, ready to join in?

Thanks Jacquie...I needed the laugh.

She obviously wasn't looking for support.

Good luck to him/her on his/her journey to intellectual stimulation....

I guess stories of poop and puke weren't worthy...

Wow, how intellectually stimulated did she expect it to get when she had her

head up her ___to start with? Not to mention, we're a parent support group,

not a college lecture forum!

--I wonder what level of intellectual stimulation she's accustomed

to. I think that she needs some sensitivity training instead of

intellectual stimulation. Thats just my 2 cents.
