I feel I need time out from here to deal with mental health issues I am currently dealing with.

Certain events have triggered things that I am struggling to deal with

Reflecting on autism politics all the time is not healthy for the mind, there is personal value out of euphemisms and positivity for the individual that I’m realising although I’ve not changed my mind on the bigger issues I’ve always commented on

Many of you are probably sick of me and happy to not have my comments pointing truths out which I’ve always tried to do

Just to make clear I never set out to offend or hurt anyone only looking at the bigger picture and getting to the truth of things

Let’s hope we have some answers to the big questions by the end of the year

Over and out

Your take on autism is a minority here and that is exactly why it is needed.

You are a good member that is respectful about the topic and other members.

As you are not an American and RFK does not directly effect you so you should not feel any quilt at all about taking a time out, not that American members should either.

Enjoy your time out. Take all the time you need.

I'm not sick of you.

Enjoy your break and come back when you're up to it.

hope you find peace and healing, do your best self care! I look forward to seeing you back again when things settle down for you. Your perspective and insights are valuable and frequently so spot on, we need your input again when you are ready. We'll be glad to see you here again.

You'll be missed. It'll be good to see you back again. Enjoy the break! Sometimes that's the healthiest thing to do.
