Hello midlifeaspie

With all due respect, you aren't that special. Every new member is interesting, it's just a natural curiosity

Every new member is queried when they use the search feature?

If anyone is curious about me, feel free to ask 

We can all see what each other are doing. In fact, we have a thread  called 'Caught Snooping' where we tease each other about it on just about a daily basis actually.

Ok,  i admit i went to WP and 'spied' your profile

and it said you were born in 1976.   I was born in 1971

so i just wonder why you call yerself  'midlife'  cus i can tell you

i am older than you and have decided my midlife will start when i am 40 years old.

If you really were born in 1976 and are 'mid life'  then my theory is down the toilet

and i shall be changing my own name to midlifecrissis methinks

It's funny that you ask as nobody ever has before.  When I created that screen name I had known I had Aspergers for about two weeks.  Before I joined WP I thought that a diagnosis at that age must be extremely rare.  One of the first things I discovered over there is that I am not alone in this.  By midlife, I really meant "late diagnosed".  It was a name I didn't put much thought into.  I kept it in coming over here because I wanted you all to know who I was and not think I was trying to sneak in the back door.

Yes. I must agree with that. You're 34/35. That is not mid-life to me. I don't want to be middle-aged until I'm at least in my mid forties. I saw the avater of your kid, and he is cute, but surely you have another 5-10 years before you should even think of being mid-lifed

Funnilly enough, that's why I called myself Butterflies, rather than pick a new username that suits me better. I thought it better that everyone who knows me, knows who I am.

No way, 40 is the new 30. I always think midlife as being 50 something....surely

When I saw your avatar on WP, I incorrectly assumed that you were a woman.  Sorry about that.

How old is your son and is he on the spectrum too?  He's a cutie.

[midlifeaspie]

He is two, and non-verbal.  Don't know about AS yet - we are just starting him on speech therapy next week

They can test two year olds for autism, and the odds of having a child with autism are higher since you have AS.

Are you going to be having speech therapists over to your house or visiting them at their office?

We started our daughter with speech therapy when she was three and I think that it helped her even though she still has speech issues, mostly with articulation.  Is your son using sign language or PECS at all?  A friend's two year old is learning some signs and he has a few words since starting speech therapy.

Question for you mla:

How does the moderation behavior of the WP staff, the constant deletion and editing of posts, the locking of threads the arbitrary bannings etc... differ in a meaningful way, from the behavior of The Ministry of Truth in George Orwell's 1984??     

[Osensitive1]

1984 is a literary classic, not real life.

Oh, yeah, I neglected to mention that a few of us are pissed off with the moderators of WP. I left WP for that very reason years ago as the moderators were bending the rules, abusing their position by being overzealous, over-protective and most importantly ban-happy. It seems nothing has changed, considering the recent drama.

Leejosepho did totally lose the plot, but I think he was a decent guy. Just very misguided. I'm still in shock that he twice accused me of hate speech . That accusation will live with me until I die

I honestly think he might have been a decent mod. I just can't believe he was let loose in the PPR sub-forum
