[quote=Anonymous]another poster who supports this move.  I've been coming here for six years for my son and have gotten a lot of valuable information over the years.

But more frequently, I post a question and can predict the inevitable torrent of insults, angry questioning, etc etc that comes.  For every 3 good answers, you get a horrid awful answer.  And guess what? i feel horrible enough every minute of every day that I'm not able to do enough for my son.  I spend most of my waking non-work hours worrying about, researching and following up with experts for my son. I easily spend $30k a year on therapies and doctors.   I don't need anonymous strangers telling me how I'm doing everything wrong.  I might spend a few months gathering information from here, and then the flood of negativity is so oppressive that I have to leave.  I often stay away for months at a time, losing out on good advice.  But i just can't take the hatefulness towards me.  Because it starts to feel personal - even from anonymous strangers.

Finally, i have no idea what these defensive posters hope to achieve.  Do you think, when a poster comes on and starts with 'My kid has X diagnosis" and you say 'that diagnosis doesn't exist so you're crackers' -- do you think you change that person's mind?  worst case, if the person is totally nuts and has a bonkers diagnosis, do you think you'll convert them?  What's the point of your never ending harping on these points?  [/quote]
