Lovely new board.

[Thoosa]

I was going to tag on everyone who was so articulate and persistent in getting this for us, but if I do it now, I’ll miss my meeting.

Thanks to all of you, though!!

I’ll go and find some very soft velvet and fake fur furnishings for our new den instead.

Great new board! I will be popping by -l have dyspraxia

Wow! They listened Will name change back now….

I'm so excited about this!

Amazing. How was this announced (I only found out via @Thoosa on a different thread) - bit stressful to feel excluded already as I’d been emailing MNHQ about this stuff 😂

@ENoeuf I only spotted it by chance in Active

Thank you! I’m going to look and see if anything else has changed.

It came up as an announcement on the thread on Site Stuff thread yesterday lunchtime. They said they’ve renamed and restructured SN & disability boards generally.

Ooh it's lovely in here!

How lovely to have our own board! 😊

New board happy news. Thanks all!!!

I was so excited to see the message about this, thanks to everyone who pushed hard to get it set up

👋🏼😊

Thank you MNHQ! Feels like there is finally a place I can talk about my ADHD without clogging up chat

Hello all. Just wondered if this is an appropriate place for me to post - I don't particularly consider myself 'ND' and have no diagnoses. But I tend towards the ASD side of things, I like my communication to be fairly precise (this makes me a pedant), I love humour with words and sci-fi stories and films etc and think my friends see me as fairly critical of fluffy crap. So I feel an affinity with some of you, but also I don't want to step on toes.

I get by OK in life but I'm sure I'm seen as a bit of an oddball - I'm pretty much at peace with that. My DH is similar to me which helps!

So pleased to see a space for autistic women on here

Oh my gosh - hello to my people.

I have ADHD, weird sensory issues, and god knows what else. I've read through several threads and just nodded my way through them.

Is it OK to talk here about how ADHD actually does really make you late for things...? :-D

Me too!

We just need an appropriate 'sticky' from MNHQ which I've raised recently (assume others have too) and received a response to say that they're currently working on this.

Hopefully it won't be too long before the 'sticky' appears.

Late to the party with this one, I was shouting loudly for this too - then I kind of harrumphed off because we didn't seem to be getting a board. And here it is!

I'm so happy at how successful our new board is!
Shows how much it was needed

I just discovered this board by accident today and I love it. It makes me feel less alone. Thank you to everyone who made this happen 🥰

Welcome @MistyMoon7 it really is a lovely place here. We get the odd NT jumping on telling us we are autisticking wrong but the awesome women on here see them off quickly

I've been following this board since it appeared and have finally delurked and already had amazing support. Thank you to everyone who worked to get it.

149 individual posts on here now!

Surely that's a @mumsnet record for a new board?

So amazing

I'm willing to bet that for every one person who has posted here, there are 10 lurkers who are seeing themselves over and over again and building up the courage to post, like I did when the board first came.

I bet there are.
I'm so happy that it's helping people.
