There seem to be a lot of noob parents here, who have just found out their kid has AS or autism, and they post all over. They have their own forum, called the Parent's Forum, where they can all give each other advice and solace. Is there any way you moderators can gently move their threads to the appropriate place?

*noob=new user.

New user makes them sound less stupid (not that they are stupid).

Yes. When I see these, I ask within the thread if the poster would rather have the thread moved. In general, I'd rather not move a thread without the poster's aquiecence, as I think that may be out of the jurisdiction of the most recent of us.

I did make a couple of suggestion to a new parent user - pointing out the existance of a Parent's Forum. I haven't moved anything though. I don't think that I would either, unless I asked the person first.
