Tigger_the_Wing's intro thread
« on: February 02, 2010, 03:53:26 PM »
OK, so having been told off for not properly introducing myself when I joined yesterday, :facepalm2: I have finally found this forum.

I was finally influenced to join I2 by real-life friends Sir Les and Hykeaswell.

As I explained elsewhere, I am an autistic grandmother, married for 30 years to an Aspie IT bloke, mother to four Aspie sons and an NT daughter (I wonder how that happened? ??? ). My daughter's son is ADHD and her stepson is HFA/Aspie. My other grandson is Aspie and (probably) so is his step-brother.

Being on the spectrum is my family's 'normal'; it goes back generations (my father, his father…) and spreads out sideways across the world.  :lol:

A keen motorcyclist virtually my whole life (I used to ride to school aged 5 on the back of my father's BSA bantam) I had to give up riding for health reasons three years ago (after a heart attack at work, on a motorbike) and driving (which I also loved, having been a taxi driver for ten years) two years ago.

Any questions?

I read that you live in Australia but you are not from there.  Where are you from originally?

I was born in London and raised in Kent. I moved around the south of England for a bit and then moved to Ireland. I arrived in Australia in Feb 2005 intending to stay for six months. Like everything else in this country, those six months are HUGE and will be the equivalent of six YEARS of anyone else's time!  :green:

Not overly sensitive, no.

I will avoid the more contentious threads.  ;)

I will, however, stand up for things that I believe in. But I'm prepared to turn a blind eye to stuff that is none of my business.

You think?  ;)

And to think I was put off joining for years by rumours that this place was unfriendly…  :duh:

We can be unfriendly. You just have to be tough and we don't take in whiners or we rip them apart. If KenM joined here, we probably be ripping him apart if he kept complaining about women being demons and him going on about double standards and people not saying what they mean, same as about god giving him AS and diabetes and him whining about his doctors telling him how to live his life. I know I would. I'll bet Hale Bop being saying worse things to him than she did at WP.

Hey Tig. Glad you are here.
Good plan of attack with reading threads. Having said that you know I am very sensitive and I manage OK .... though sometimes I do cry into my pillow at night  :P

I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Thanks, Kit!

Poor Les, I can just imagine it (is that why the pillows were soggy after your last overnight stay?  ??? )
