[quote=Anonymous][quote]I'm torn but leaning against this proposal. I have a child with SN and really appreciate this forum, including the fact that it is generally much more civilized than some other parts of DCUM. I understand the desire to "defend" it from assholes. But, I find it not that hard to ignore the relatively infrequent obnoxious/inappropriate posts on here.

I also usually read DCUM via the Recent Topics function, because I am interested in the other issues discussed here too, and I'm afraid I would forget to check the SN forum as much if it were taken out of Recent Topics.

I also do think there's something to be said for the value of people with NT kids just happening across the posts about kids with SN and learning something from them.

And, I don't like the symbolism of segregating it from the rest of the parenting topics as if it is completely different, or somehow inappropriate for general readership (like the sexually explicit forum that doesn't show up in Recent Topics).

And of course, this being an anonymous forum, people could still come to the SN forum and post obnoxious things even if it were not in Recent Topics.

So I guess I would vote hesitantly against removing it, but I acknowledge it would not be the end of the world if it were removed.[/quote]

+ 1 I don't usually visit this forum but if someone posts a question that's about my daughter's condition then I will answer. I also think its useful to have some parents who don't have SN kids comment, especially about things related to school or activities. [/quote]
