I've mentioned this before, but pretty please can we have this SN topic?

[ToadsJustFellFromTheSky]

I have mentioned this before elsewhere on MN and I have also recently discussed this with another poster who also thought it was a good idea so thought now would be a good time as any to ask.

I would like a topic for posters with SN. I know we've got the SN chat topic but sometimes I would like a topic where posters with SN can post.

I know the obvious place to post in would be SN chat but every time I venture over there I'm very conscious of the fact that 99% of the discussion taking place there is about people's children with SN and I think I would feel odd and out of place talking about myself. Speaking of which, if I did start a thread there about myself would I be made to feel out of place?

I know there's also the parents with disabilities topic but I'm not a parent and a lot of the discussion there is, as the name would suggest, about parenting.

I have been told that there is a support thread running for posters with ASD but I never actually found it. It's probably some place really obvious though and I've just missed it.

Inspired by recent events on here, I'm bumping this.

I also keep trying to keep up with the support thread but keep getting lost, it moves so fast .

I hope you get it so I can Lurk, my dd is an adult so sn children is not the right place now.

Any news?

Evening all,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to this thread, it's been that kind of week (maybe even month!).

We are reading and taking note though, and we'll discuss further at MNHQ next week when more people are around.

Not at all relevant, but I had no idea there was an EmmanuelleMumsnet until today.

PolterGoose thanks, I am homeless on mn at the mo.

I support what others are asking for here, and would like to add a request for a sub-topic within it, which I know loads of other MNers would support.

Please could we have a sub-topic called, perhaps, 'Neurodiverse Relationships' or 'Neurodiversity in Relationships'? At the moment, if we post about our neurodiverse relationships in the Relationships Topic, we are told, aggressively, to LTB. Our relationships are more complex than that, and to exit the relationship can be the worst thing to do; it is a question of communication, and having a bitter divorce does not help that, particularly where co-parenting is concerned. Most of us have neurodiverse children; the parent nearest on the spectrum to each child often 'gets' that particular child the best. We have to think about helping our dc survive in an NT world, and what messages they get about neurodiversity. But we do need to be able to discuss strategies for getting along as best we can within our relationships. Mumsnet should be a great place for doing that - and could be, if we weren't shouted down. A place of safety, where threads don't disappear, would be fab. (We'd also like to share and retain links etc.)

Any news?

Do you think they've forgotten about us?

Hi all,

We are having a bit of a topics cull at the moment because we have many topics that were asked for but now remain unused.

We know it's a bit frustrating but could we please ask you to ask again in September when we have had a chance to clear the decks a little please?

Thank you!

Oh yes, that would be fab! [more gin] [more biscuits]

I think I can live with waiting until September .

I'm not really keen on gin or biscuits so I guess I will throw in some and some .

gonna bump this
mn hq have give the "yoga" people a new topic

so why not this ??

Seeing as it's nearly September, I am going to give this a bump. I'm sure no one will mind .

Thank you Toads - a bump is always appreciated! We've got a hands a bit full atm with hacker/site security stuff, but please do keep bumping, and we'll give this the attention it deserves when things are a bit calmer

Would the temporary measure suggested by polter be doable, kate? As she says, the only people really using sn recommendations are us anyway

Sorry it was probably a bit insensitive bumping this right now
