Why so many posts from those who aren’t ND??

[Fleurbombeury]

I thought this section was just for those who are Neurodivergent?

i feel like so many posts lately are from parents who aren’t neurodivergent, looking for advice about their neurodivergent children.

I understand you want advice from neurodivergent adults but this section is just for us, not for NT parents, at least I thought so. Are you not able to post in one of the other special needs sections?

I've used this board to understand my ND partner a bit more. I find the traditional relationships board a bit too militant and negative. I didnt realise it was purely for ND people here to post.

It's not just for ND people, says so at the top of the board.

It is, however, irritating when presumably NT parents of ND children post here by mistake. A large part of the irritation is that they and their children would get the support they need sooner if they posted on the SEND Children board in the first place.

There isn't a board for friends and family of SEND adults so NT people wanting to better understand their ND friends and partners and adult relatives are best posting here. As you note, Relationships isn't a very friendly place for ND people, especially that "support thread" they have, which we satirised.

@VitoCorleoneOfMNMafia Yes, thats exactly it, i have posted post to understand friends and partners more.

Yes perhaps they should rename it to adult ND or something. It's not people looking for info about their adult partner/friend which is the issue here.

It's interesting I think people tend to do it when they don't feel they identify with the label SN or SEN and prefer ND.

Is there a better place to post when asking about relationships when one is NT/ND?
