Thank you for the Wrong Planet forum

Post Reply New Topic

I just wanted to say "thank you" to the people who make this place possible. I just realized what a great thing it is to have a virtual space in which to share the many confusing and frustrating things that life can bring, with people who truly get it. That's not something you find in day to day life very easily! Being understood is like a huge relief valve some days.

I feel the same way. Thank you WP.

I feel the same way, too. I have been here only briefly, but already learnt a lot about mental retardation. So, thank you!

My best wishes,

Volterra.

I've been very glad for the existence of this message board ever since I first found out about it and signed on.

My experiences with Wrong Planet, its community, and its staff of dedicated moderators, has been decidedly positive. Whenever I felt down and out in the past 5 years, reading the threads here has been very inspiring and at various points helped convinced me to buck up and move on again.

Thanks to everyone involved! Hope it will mean the same thing as it did to me, to many other future members.

Well I am glad that the wrong planet exists, I am not kidding it has made my life better.

Diagnosed under the DSM5 rules with autism spectrum disorder, under DSM4 psychologist said would have been AS (299.80) but I suspect that I am somewhere between 299.80 and 299.00 (Autism) under DSM4.

Yes I totally agree this place has helped me in so many ways.

This forum has taught me that many behaviors I originally thought were me being my own brand of socially stupid were actually AS-related.

As I was in process of being diagnosed, I found this place through a Wikipedia link. As soon as I saw the name, I wept, because I knew I'd found someone else who 'got it.' I'd been telling people for years that I had been born onto the Wrong Planet.

I'm so grateful too! I don't socialize at all in real life, but I really enjoy visiting WP!

I, too, am grateful for Wrong Planet especially since I don't socialize in real life. As I have no friends or family members near me, I often rely on the advice and company of others I receive here. I'm very thankful for it. It's saved my bacon a few times and helped when I was in my lowest moments.

Thank you, Alex, for creating this site.

I feel the same since I've been here I've learnt a lot and I've found people who have the same feelings as I do, I think we all are a pretty good team.

I am really grateful to have this place. Thank you Alex!
