I'm very frustrated because a large number of people here post threads that are purposely controversial or are looking for pity points.
I can't seem to find any other Asperger's support forums for people that are determined to work on themselves. It seems like a lot of the users here who are successful and have made efforts are brushed aside, or argued with, or their words are lost in a sea of negativity. The site in itself is pretty good, and the articles are great!
But...
I don't really feel comfortable posting my genuine opinions on most of the threads here because it seems like a good amount of them turn into heated debates. I'm not much of an arguer, and I'm even less skilled at debating. All it would take is one articulate person, throwing a bunch of verbiage around, to debunk my thoughts on a subject.
I'm disheartened because I'm just not sure if this site will be a good advocate for my needs, and it would be nice if I didn't have to come up with ten thousand plus posts for those needs to be acknowledged.
Just because I'm new doesn't mean that I'm any less important than anybody else. This forum has been the hardest out of many to integrate into. The forum doesn't have to be a support group for a select few, if people would put forth a bit more effort into making new people feel welcome.

Have you had a look at this thread http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt188409.html?
If yes then perhaps try looking at intensitysquared?
Its a smaller community but the active members are usually trying to work on themselves and are always welcoming new members.
I get what you mean because I was at a similar situation when I started.
If this situation concerns you a lot you could try to "inflate" your post count on games at random...(its what I did
)
That being said Ive noticed your posts but I havent posted much lately.
