I'm semi-consciously avoiding getting too close to anyone on the forum, because I kind of had that on my first message board and it didn't really work out well. Which is why I play a more distant and aloof part here on WP.
But I think I could understand why two people would mention chrissyrun. I remember last year when I was having one of my self-pity rants, she kind of reached out to me. And that was very kind and selfless, and I really appreciated it.
I guess I'd also like to mention Janissy, whom I've had a little bit of interaction with a long while ago, during a time we were both looking for some answers. Kudos to her for sticking around the forum at that time, because there were a couple of vitriolic posts that kind of implied that anyone who wasn't on the spectrum (including parents) had very little business coming here.
