I do the same thing…..get into something. leave something else behind……..etc etc……..I am even like that with calling people……..alot of time its unintentional but occasionally I will do that on purpose…….like if I know I have studying to do and someone is gonna go blah blah and potentially get me irritated…….I’ll avoid calling that person for a while
until I have time and energy to deal with potential irritation……..

It is odd for admins, for example, to think we worship at the altar of their site. I got locked out of a site the other week, because I hadn’t visited in 7 days. Even I have somewhat of a life, ha.

Yeah. I’ve seen stuff like this before, and it’s usually from people who all know each other and only go on one or a small number of forums. And thus think anyone on the forums is responding to them and only them.

Although there’s also just plain insecure individual people I know more personally who wonder why I’m not responding to them, and that one makes more sense to me.

It is interesting how some people on forums seem to think that everything in the world revolves around that particular forum; I know that I’ve seen my share of it in my time of participating in various fora.

Just thought I’d say hi as I’m trying to visit and comment on as many of the NaBloPoMo blogs as I can. :)

Yeah, different parts of hell breaking loose different places.

On a discussion list at some point today we were talking about what we thought neurodiversity isn’t. My “isn’t” was something like “Neurodiversity isn’t all about autism, or for that matter all about dividing what sorts of people are fashionable enough to be neurodiverse and what sorts of people are considered too different or defective or damaged or useless to include in that definition.”

Well I am less active in the cyber world because of winteritis and because my studies are taking up a lot of time, considering what I am paying I had better pay attention to them.

All Hell has broken loose alright, but whether you and I are talking about the same thing is debatable.

I fell out with DANDA when they started defining neurodiversity in a medical model and at that time wished to exclude “aquired” neurodiversity from the canonical definition.

I am going to fall out with others over the same point it seems, Neurodiversity is not just another word for Autism, and the moment people start deciding who is in, and who is out, what is in and what is out, then Lenny Schafer wins, because is that not what he does?

Fortunately whatever the Cabal decides they have lost already as the word is wild in the UK even to the extent of some of its coinages offending the grammarians of the USA who have the temerity to tell us how to use our language considering what they have done to it themselves.

How does one find the ALF and other autie-friendly places on Second Life?

Hi Amanda,
I’ve learned from your blog. Can I link to it from my blog?
