no dear it was someone else bitching about how I accidently forget I am using capitals .it made me feel put down and angered and it was inadvertent but I was then threatened by this person whom is one of the mentors .it simply reminded me of my being autistic and to expect abuse and denigration and being perfect for able boidied people

@sirgalahad, I am so sorry. I really don't think that Neurotypicals can appreciate the huge amount of effort it takes for us to" pass" in our society. Directions to a building, billboards, instructions on filling out just about any form....all are from a Neurotypical point of view. For us, it is like learning a new language.
Because we tend to think outside of the box, something like using capital letters is of very little importance one way or the other. I personally use capital letters in notes or letters to family.
I learned that's a big no no to Neurotypicals!

I am 66 years old and I still do things that annoy or bother my children, and they call me on it. Keeps me humble. Please consider this a bump in the road. You are most definitely welcome here. None of us is perfect. I care about you and wish the best for you! Talk to you soon.
