[quote=Anonymous]I dunno. I started using this site 9 years ago when DS was two, and honestly there were a lot of raw and harsh posts back then too.  The problem is that SN doesn’t have nice and easy answers. It’s not like asking for a good cupcake recipe. When you ask what your three year old with preschool problems needs, you’re going to get answers that are hard to hear.

But one big change I do think has impacted the forum is that ten years ago, pdd-nos still existed. And even sort of Asperger’s was more widely known as a term.  And now those terms are scrapped and meshed with the ever expanding asd spectrum.  And since I’d wager that 50 percent of the parents posting on here have kids who borderline drift into or are cleanly in adhd/odd/asd/anxiety territory, there is a lot of sensitivity on that subject.  Ten years ago, no sensitivity - even tho pdd no’s was kind of meaningless, it felt “more right” for a lot of the kids who clearly have SN but where ASD doesn’t feel like the right answer.  So I see lots of conflict on that subject. [/quote]
