[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 335373, member: 1233"] Your sig is great. We get a lot of new people who don't use the web much, so we try to ask in a way that helps a person understand if they are new to the internet. The comment about not being a doctor is also because some who are new here think we can give a true diagnosis. Telling you that we are not docs just protects us all, it was not meant to imply you were less than intelligent. I love the sarcastic humor, it fits well with some of us, LOL! I have also found that parents are by far the best sources of information. The in real life support groups I have been to for Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) tend to be parents without the level of info you found or that we have here. I stopped going because it was a real downer, the parents all talked about the worst of living with a child with an Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and few of them had "normal" expectations for their kids. Most seemed to feel their kids could not ever live on their own or get married or be parents. It was not the right group(s) for me. This group fit better for me. I am thrilled that your in real life support group was so helpful!! Gives me hope that I might find or found a support group with parents more of my mindset (to push my child to be a self sufficient, productive adult who reaches his full potention, rather than focusing on what he cannot do.). I am glad you joined us!! [/QUOTE]
