Thank you all.

I want to thank all members who have posted and replied to my posts. I have been reassured and informed about this journey that is PMR. It is no longer a scary unknown. Thank you all for your input.I am not good with forums or social media due to my autistic traits. I find social interaction confusing and have got into bother on forums because I do not have a very good filter and say wrong things. For this reason I will take my new information and wish you and the forum all the best and thank you again. Jane x

You don’t need to say thanks, nor apologise …

You don’t have to interact every day, many don’t, but you can still read posts and get info from those.. you do what you feel happiest with. No-one judges what you do.. 🌸

Thank you for your kind words. I grew up with a lot of negative judgment within my own family so I grew up expecting it. Autism wasn't recognised much six decades ago. I was labelled disruptive and rude at school. Anyway, I did learn some manners and yes, I do want to say thanks. I will be happy to lurk and read if that's ok.

Hi. Keep lurking and learning if you are happy with that. Remember you can ask for advice here.

[DorsetLady PMRGCAuk volunteer in reply to Hidden]

Of course it’s okay - and as PMRpro has said you can always use the Chat/Message facility if you want to ask something, but don’t want to add to main forum.

We are here to help…

[PMRpro Ambassador in reply to Hidden]

Of course it is OK - and if you have a question - ask.

[PMRpro Ambassador]

No thanks needed, no apology required. You choose what you do. It takes a lot to offend us so please don't feel you can't say things. If you feel happier asking questions in private - that can also be an option.

Please don't leave - just lurk if that is more comfortable for you.

Ok, thanks x

So glad you found what you needed. As already said, no need to leave, unless that is your choice, but watch and read and if you do want to ask a question someone will always be here. Suspect a fair few of us here have knowledge and personal experience of the Autistic Spectrum. Take care.
