Hi

I put my heart and soul out there, and I am constantly abused. To say that I am my mother, you have no idea how hurtful your words are, :(. I have put so much effort into writing online, and to face that type of abuse is abhorrent. I feel ashamed to think that there are those on the spectrum that enjoy to see another suffer because of their trauma and accusing them as if they don’t exist.

You nearly gave me a heart attack with that response. That was so hurtful, :(. My heart is beating nine to the dozen.

I’ve had enough of that from my school life, I don’t need that type of abuse now in my present circumstances, especially from the autistic community. This is exactly why I find it so difficult to write on the internet, to face abuse like this is sickening. I don’t understand how an autistic person can say such abusive comments to another. It’s absolutely beyond me.


We have had problems with sockpuppets and trolls lately so don't take that comment personally. :)


We don't have a problem with sock puppets. We have a problem with people accusing others of being sock puppets. I've been here for months now and I've seen tons of accusations and not one person actually sock puppeting. It's like the Jersey Devil or Bigfoot. Everyone claims they are everywhere and they've seen one, but nobody has an actual confirmation.



You have never seen any mods here say a (insert username here) was a sockpuppet of a banned account?

They can see IPs so they would know.


Yup. I've never seen it. To be fair, moderators aren't really comparing IP accounts all the time. So I imagine that there are multiple account users and that some of them are terrible people. But the only trouble I've seen come of it is from people (presumably falsely) accusing others. It's become comical to me. Everyone seems to think that they are their own Sherlock Holmes or Scooby gang and their massive powers of perception have given them and only them this special insight.

Thats my experience of forums in general , I thought it'd be different here. It must be a human trait.

I think it is. I know I can get this way. Although to me, I don't tend to be interested in double accounts. But I do it about other things. Of course, I think I'm right-er than everyone else - like the whole planet. Everyone is less right than me. LOL

I've been accused of having more than more accounts than I really had but that was under the old staff team and even Alex thought I created a sockpuppet to troll here because some banned member opened an account here using my name and someone else did the same using one of my avatars I used here so they thought it was me. Then for years the new staff thought those accounts were mine despite different IPs. But I had moved location in a year so five different IPs I have had in one year after registering here. I did fine out who did Spokane but I didn't say anything about it to the old staff because I didn't think it was a big deal and it's not like I got in trouble for their actions. But that account doesn't exist anymore because it got deleted by an old staff thinking it was my account but it wasn't.

If you have suspicions of sockpuppetry(intentinally creating multiple threads) report it to the moderators instead of writing a post accusing somebody.

I wasn't accusing anybody, people. I said I thought it at first but gave it the benefit of the doubt.

And FTR, I *was* being supportive.

And what wilburforce said earlier was true, and I don't think there was any need for her to edit her post. They are both acting like delicate flowers, and adding lots of loaded words to everything they say and making it sound more dramatic.

Just for future reference, that ^ doesn't come off as supportive. I know it probably sounded great in your head, but out here in the world, it sounds aggressive.

It's not help unless its helping and its not supportive if it doesn't feel like its supporting.

Thank you Cockney Rebel. Now that the thread is back on track, I hope the OP and her son will continue to receive useful feedback with the very important issues of loneliness and isolation, and solutions to them.

I'm going to repeat what I said earlier, but also clarify: You both need therapy if you're not already in it, and if you are, then you need to tailor it to the fact that you two are joined at the hip, which really isn't appropriate for a parent and child. Being close is one thing, but son, you need to be able to stand up for yourself. It's really hard. I know because I used to be codependent on my parent, but with therapy, I've been able to get better. It'll make life happier and easier for you, and it will decrease your anxiety. And it doesn't mean that you love your mom any less. And mom, you've been looking out for your son's best interest and advocating for him for so long that I'm sure it's challenging to realize that you need to let him take some steps on his own. I'm sure that it will help decrease the loneliness and isolation son is experiencing. A therapist will be best able to tell you in what ways you can start stepping back.

I wouldn't mind being a writing buddy, but I'm really busy and would leave you hanging all the time. So I'll have to decline at the present.

Hi Green0star,

Thank you very much for your reply. Thank you for explaining you are within the age group and like anime, equally informing me that it is very difficult to find people who are within that age group who like anime. My son is very particular about the Japanese animation he likes, Final Fantasy is one of his favourites, and must have a real story base. Naruto and Bleach are another two he likes, but there are many more.

I will show my son your reply, and hopefully you have seen the response I made to Somanysponns, and you will see the reasons why I am writing on behalf of my son at the moment. Thank you again.


I love final fantasy ! ! I'm currently replaying FFXIII right now. I used to kick it with Naruto and Bleach back in the day. I do watch a lot of anime though :P

green0star, when it comes to anime. What anime do you like to watch, :)? What are your other interests? I can understand what you mean, but I can’t help the interests I have. Despite my age, of 25, I find it too difficult to attempt to like something I don’t just to fit in with my age group, :(. Besides, I don’t feel anime is childish, it can be quite interesting when consider certain anime like Mushishi since it’s artistic and old oriental folklore based, and Naruto since the characters grow with you, and develop as they grow older. In the beginning, I could relate to how alienated Naruto felt in the early episodes, as I felt the same when I was at school, apart from the jokey side.


I watch anime on a seasonal basis so I get a lot of new anime every season. This season I'm watching Bubuki Buranki 2, Kiss him not me, Twin Star Exorcist, Uta no Prince 4, Gakuen Handsome, Saiki Kusuo, Nanbaka, Drifters, All Out and Bloodivores. As I said above I did kick it with Naruto and Bleach back in the day but Naruto I didn't get heavily into and Bleach I watched up until 211. At that point I just didn't know what was going on anymore xD I find that when you are older then 21 people generally don't like anime that much, and I am 27. My avatar features characters from a series called kochikame which is pretty obscure outside of Japan but very hilarious if you ever get the chance to check it out.

As I also mentioned prior I like video games too. I play action, adventure, and RPGs mostly. Currently I'm replaying FFXIII. I have ps3 and I got ps4 recently. I also like the tales series, Metal Gear series, Legend of Zelda series, a bit of Mario(not so much in the recent days since I don't have wii U), Prince of persia, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, and the like. I also got into Persona pretty recently, I have persona 4 area(even though I haven't played it in forever) and I can't wait for Persona 5 to come out.

I am also interested in health wellness and fitness. I exercise regularly an hour and a half 5 days a week and I am also vegan.
