Truly horrible comments on other forums. Has anyone found a community welcoming to SNs?

OP, I would not mistake the DCUM discussion for what people in this area are actually like. It's anonymous so who knows where these posters are from, if they even have kids, etc. Also, it's anonymous so people let the very worst parts of themselves out. That doesn't mean those are their "true colors" necessarily.

Anyway, to answer your question, I do find the Special Needs board on DCUM to be supportive and I second the suggestion above for finding a closed FB group related to your child's condition, if possible.

I've found the most support in adaptive sports programs and in a closed FB group for parents of kids with SN in PWC (if you are in PWC, just search for it on FB and ask for an invite .. ). This board has also been a great resource and is generally well moderated.
