A lot of times I don't post anything because the last person to post said what I wanted to say better than I could say it. It's not a thread killer thing. Just kind of like, That's the best comment ever. I "bow" to the last poster.
Nintendofan, B9, Angel_Ryan, I never think of anyone as lower or higher functioning. Seriously, It never even crossed my mind. I like everybody's posts except those that are nasty or rude on purpose. I come across wrong all the time. I wish I were more like the posters who take their time and think about what they say before they hit the submit button. Too often I hit submit and then realize I don't think I said what I meant to say. (Then I worry about it and wonder what to do about it and how I could change it or what if I hurt someone's feelings, and on and on...) Then I'm too confused to change anything.
See perfect example here...I'm rambling. What I mean to say is please stick around.

I like that there are people on different levels of the spectrum here. I'm in between AS and autism apparently. You are very welcome here

Think of it this way: People may not reply right away because they are taking the time to get to know you and might also be shy to start a conversation. The more you post, the more people can build up a knowledge of who you are and will be more apt to reply. Just because someone hasn't replied to a comment most certainly doesn't mean they didn't read it, agree with it, laugh with it, or that it didn't make their day!
I really believe that the majority of it is just shyness and unfamiliarity, which is something I think that a great number of us are afflicted with.
That said, what are your favorite Nintendo games? Mine is Yoshi's Story from N64!
thanks.
i like all nintendo games, have way over 20 consoles.
,,,,the nintendo game i like more than anything else is the legend of zelda series. its like another world.

And I can totally relate to this I often rewrite my posts a dozen times before hitting the submit button and then edit them several times, especially when I'm trying to write something nice or emotional. I always feel like I'm doing it wrong.
@nintendofan: I think Aimless found the perfect words, so I'll simply repeat them. I also hope you stay around
thanks

WOW!! ! I have a NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, two Gameboy Pockets, a Gameboy Advance and a DS lite. I too love the ledgend of Zelda. I often go on Zelda when I feel overwhelmed by real life! I am hoping to get a Wii in the future but I am waiting until it is cheaper.

I would still respond but say something like "I agree with (insert name here)." Then add some of your thoughts. It lets the original poster know there are even more people who understand what they are going through or that there is more support for a particular opinion.

I enjoy having you around. I hope that you stay. I've also felt different from most of the members here. I'm not a logical thinker at all and I don't feel that I can take part in a lot of the threads, because the logical posts go right over my head. I'm more of a heart aspie instead.

Aww come on, fans of Nintendo can't be that bad by default.
I've been posting on message boards since I was around maybe 10? That's a decade right there. Started on some Gameshark one I believe. I was a bit immature, conceited, stubborn, and as a result I'd kept getting banned, making few friends if any at all. I didn't understand how they worked or what kind of behavior would be tolerated, nor the extent of which the rules went.
I'm not saying any of this applies to you; just that it seems like a similar way I'd felt before. Of course, you have all these people here telling you they like you well enough and that they'd like for you to stick around. You're certainly not as bad as I was, so that's also good. Although I've learned a lot from being a bit more reserved and paying attention to how others form their posts, I still sometimes feel that I could do better, even if I don't get in much trouble anymore. It's true, too - there is always room for improvement, as nobody is perfect. Just, don't let that feeling get to you. I'm sure a lot of people here have already accepted you as you are.
