Could Neurodiverse Mumsnetters be renamed or its description changed to clarify it is for adults?

[selffellatingouroborosofhate]

Please consider modifying the name and description of the Neurodiverse Mumsnetters board to make it clearer that it is intended for neurodivergent adults.

We often see threads from parents of neurodivergent children that would be more appropriately in SN Children. The posters would be more likely to get the support they seek if they posted in the correct board.

Additionally, some threads are unpleasant to read because children like the children we once were are described mainly in terms of the challenges they pose to their parents. Whilst this is understandable because parents don't ask for help with the aspects of parenting that are not challenging, it has the unintended effect of increasing the negative messaging that we as neurodivergent adults see about neurodivergence, and we get enough of that already without it being posted on the board set aside for us to support each other.

Oh shit, sorry. That was meant to be Parents insist on posting on MNers without children threads.

I was trying to ask that questions about parenting autistic children be more clearly signposted to the SN boards. No, I didn't phrase it very clearly. Am I not allowed to misjudge things?

Your questions have helped me clarify what I actually meant, so thank you.

No problem

If you look at the board, it already says similar. It already says “This board exists primarily for the use of Neurodiverse Mumsnetters. Others are welcome to post but please be respectful.”

Do you realise you are asking for grace because you were unclear/got something wrong, whilst criticising people for doing the same thing

MN isn't a safe space for anybody. There have always been non-Black people posting drivel on Black Mumsnetters and parents waxing lyrical about not knowing true love until you have a child on MNers Without Children.

MNHQ have made it clear they won't stop people on specific boards.
