How would you react if you found out your cousin or relative

Post Reply New Topic

Unless it was my brother, I would remove my photos and resume posting under a new name, watching to avoid any revealing personal information.

The real me is personal and not something I care to fully share with just anyone. My family is gossipy and opinionated. They also think that they know me a lot better than they do, so they would make a big deal out of it to read all these things I say which they don't know about.

Is this directed at me?


My family knows I have AS and it's not about the real me, I just don't feel comfortable with them seeing what I write and plus I don't know how my parents react if they saw me saying they have AS traits or my little brother. I don't know how my cousin would react if she saw me calling her a drama queen. I think I have called her that on here. I don't know how my family would react if they saw me saying who could have AS in my family.

I wouldn't be too happy about it. This is where I can freely share my interests, while learning to talk about a variety of things, at the same time. However having said that, I think that my parents would feel guilty that they've hurt me over the past 30 years, from the time I was 5, until June the 27th.

I do NOT like the idea of my parents or family joining this place at all. They might would gain a better understanding of me but I discuss lots of stuff here that no one off line knows about. if they read some of my post; they might kick me out or have grounds to have me committed. I highly doubt they would be here unless I leave a page up & they need to get on my computer. My dad's not good with computer stuff & my mom's waaaay to busy with work & house-work to have time to use online forums. We haven't really talked about Aspergers stuff in a long time

Seeing that I haven't posted about anything they don't already know about (even the stuff I talk about in the Adult forum), it isn't an issue with me.

No one in my family would join here, I think.
There's a friend of a friend and a lady at my work who might know about this place, but I don't think they'd recognize me. I wouldn't mind seeing them here, but I wouldn't want them to know it was me.

I'd spend more time editing my posts than I would posting, to say the least.

but .. everybody's ok with facebook integration? or is it just not worth arguing about?

My mum asked me about joining the site but I told her I didn't want her to. I don't thin kshe will now.

I'm not okay with it, but I don't let my family see my Facebook page, either.

Both my mum and stepdad are on here, so I canät really get away from them

Honestly, I doubt any member of my family immediiate or indirect or here on WP since, only a handful of people in my family acknowledge the fact, I have AS therefore, there is no sense of concern relating to me.Still for peoiple whom have family members present on WP I suppose it can feel uneasy in some regards..

I think a lot of WPers were pretty upset about the facebook thing.

I wouldn't want my family or friends here. I wouldn't mind talking about AS with my family, but I don't outside my family and I often write things that I'd rather my relatives not read.

L_G, have you seen this?? coincidence or??

i suspect that from time to time my mom is on here but i doubt she has an account

The only person in my family who might join is my aunt, who has an Aspie son. It would be weird having relatives here.
