Good Sunday Morning to you, me lovelies. I am flat on my back with a fibromyalgia flare, so this will be brief. I am still a contented member of groups on social media. These groups are wonderful for us Auties. But sometimes we have folks who like to stir up things and cause unpleasantness. The term "troll" has been used, and when these individuals are found out, they are blocked. Hopefully in time to avoid too much damage to the community.

Trigger warnings are another issue I would like to briefly address. The very essence of our lives, our struggles, and successes, involve triumph and defeat. Lessons learned . We learn and we grow by sharing our stories, I believe. I would borrow from our "cousins", the twelve step groups.....I can only share my "experience, strength, and hope." I do not give advice. But I can certainly share what I have seen others do. Their successes and failures. We try here to be honest, respectful, and to treat others as we would like to be treated. In that way of thinking, we are not likely to alarm others with information that is graphic and insensitive.

Thankfully we have wonderful moderators and a director who is amazing. She manages to keep us intact and whole with gentle reminders and lots of good information. Bottom line, that's what we are here for.

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being here. I can't wait to meet all of you someday! Have a lovely rest of the weekend and remember to take good care of you, first. Love and hugs!

@mamacita Thank you for your words. To be in a flare yet take time to message to us, lets me be grateful once again to here on Connect. Please take care of yourself until you feel better. Sending you a warm scone and cuppa tea, all by cyber mail.
