I'm outta here. I'm not prepared to deal with this place being taken over by NTs. I had high hopes for this board, but it's pointless.

Good luck to everyone.

Sorry, mate - that last thread was an absolute bin fire.

Maybe catch you over on Wrong Planet some time?

Icecocoa · 09/06/2022 15:26

Oh no! Please don't leave. I have found your posts really helpful.

Rreaq · 09/06/2022 15:27

I love reading your posts barrow. But I understand your feeling the last thread was seriously depressing, I might also try out wrong Planet.

I hear you. This board is not a safe space for ND's and it never will be until the threads stop showing in 'active'. But I can't see that happening. We haven't been heard before now, so I won't be holding my breath for a positive change in future.

Ain't that the truth.

@BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation so sorry. I always loved your posts here and found your replies so kind and understanding always but I can understand why you want to leave.

Oh no! Happened to see a thread come up today and didn’t know that neurodiverse mumsnetters was a thing but came here to check it out and hopefully join. The irony 😩

MN listened when we asked for the infertility board not to show in active when horrible posters kept turning up there and ignoring what board it was. Really hope something similar can be done for this one.

@BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation Only posting here as this thread popped up in Active, and I recognised your name.

I didn't know you were ND (probably because I don't visit this board) but just wanted to say how sorry I am that you feel this way and will be leaving. I've enjoyed talking with you on the low carb threads.

I'm just resurrecting my old username to send sympathy, this is exactly why several of us who were regulars on the original old ND support threads, back when this was all fields, stopped posting and de-camped.

If it's not 'helpful' NTs it's vile trolls.

This will never be a safe space, it just can't be on an open forum, and certainly not without, at the very least, MN taking it out of active convos, and assertive and proactive modding.

ofwarren · 09/06/2022 17:50

I'm sorry to read this. You were one of the first people I spoke to when the board was created.
You will be missed.

AlternativelyWired · 09/06/2022 21:27

😔 I love your posts @BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation and will be sad to see you go but I understand.

ZigZagZen · 09/06/2022 22:13

@BarrowInFurnessRailwayStation I will miss you. You are so understanding and kind. I hope you do whatever is best for you. I hope that you know your worth too.

Ponderingwindow · 09/06/2022 22:40

I was just checked out wrong planet. First I had heard of it. I immediately found 3 threads on simple questions I had wanted to ask, but never had because I didn’t think they would be understood.

Barrow, I haven't been here much recently. but I shall miss you and your humour very much.

Family problems, health shit, et al kept me from posting, I shall check out Wrong planet when I get a chance, I cannot be doing with shtpstrs; there are enough shts in real life to contend with; go well my dear and hope to talk soon

SquirrelSoShiny · 14/06/2022 23:55

Sorry to hear that Barrow. I missed the thread that upset you - possibly a good thing - but I felt a bit down reading some relationships stuff about adhd. Here at least it would be good to have a quiet corner.

Trivester · 16/06/2022 20:14

I’m late to this thread so you may never read this but I too am sorry to see you go and valued your voice .

SquirrelSoShiny · 16/06/2022 20:22

Is it just wrong planet. Com? And is it for adhd as well as autism? Sorry if that's a crass way of asking period's just starting and my head is a tangle 🥴

BoardLikeAMirror · 16/06/2022 20:26

Sorry you're going, Barrow.

@ SquirrelSoShiny
It's wrong planet.net and its an autism forum. I've not seen any ADHD chat on there when I've been on it, except from people who already have an ASD diagnosis.

Trivester · 16/06/2022 21:54

Is there anywhere else online that’s primarily for women?

Rreaq · 16/06/2022 21:59

Wrong Planet has a female section, there's subs on reddit for women autism in women and aspergirls are the two big ones and random Facebook/discord grouos

picklemewalnuts · 16/06/2022 22:03

Does 'off the beaten track' still exist on MN? That was a place that didn't show up in active, designed for people to hang out with a bit more privacy.
