Yes, your statement is not political - just human and caring. I'm sure many of us have heavy hearts as you do. People with Autism do care and do feel for others.

Are there any other groups where you could invite adults on the Spectrum to join this discussion on Connect? I too, would love to have more Members and sharing.

@hopeful33250, Thursday, June 28 10:55pm I have contacted a few friends about Mayo Clinic Connect, and have gotten some great responses. I did reach out to a support group to ask about this information being given to the group. The Administration will make a decision soon. Every day I will try to connect with those I have met and offer them the opportunity to join our discussion. I want people to feel comfortable being here and that they are welcome with open arms. Love and light, Mamacitalucita

Who says Auties don't have a sense of humor?!! You make me smile!

@mamasitalucita I am so glad that you have been inviting others! We have some delightful new members!

Hi there, @hopeful33250. I am trying to get the word out. We welcome everyone on the Spectrum, whether you have had a professional diagnosis, taken tests and identify strongly with the Spectrum, or maybe you have been told by a counselor that you share many traits of someone with Autism. Each person's journey toward self-discovery is different. We respect your privacy and want you to feel safe here. Everyone has a user name and is welcome to share on their own comfort level. But guess what? My own comfort level has expanded ridiculously since I became acquainted with Mayo Clinic Connect. It feels really good to be comfortable in your own skin. And if I can help just one person by listening to their story, I will be very happy.
