I wanted to post that because of the critcism I recieved I saw a therapist and was told I'm NOT autistic. I was misdiagnosed.
I'm very greatful for the well intentioned friendly criticism because I have lived as an Autistic for almost 10 years.
Thank You for the critcism it helped me :-)

I think your forum behavior has always been fine. Don't let a PM bum you out.

It was a pleasure to meet you and the wife at the Meet.

It was a pleasure for me too Dave. I loved seeing your stuff and hope to see you again next year.

[Random Axe]

Dave,

It sucks that someone made you feel you had to make a very personal statement. And its nothing to feel embarrassed about, but you already know that. It was very cool to meet you, and you know where I work so you have an. open invitation to pop in.

I didn't get to see you at the Meet, but I enjoy your posts and the messages we've exchanged. I'm sorry to hear that someone is making you feel uncomfortable.

[megoscott]

You're a cool dude in my book, Dave.

[Brown Bear]

I like Dave too. He's nifty.

[jwyblejr]

I never understood why people have to do this.

[hedrap]

TD, I talked to you for a few minutes at the Meet. My nephew has a form of autism. I know the tell signs, but you were fine. Nothing you did seemed out of the ordinary, especially for a first timer.

[toys2cool]

life's to short to take things so seriously bro, not everyone's going to like you or understand you...if they don't like your threads or your posts... it's simple, they can choose not to read them

[pmwasson]

Dave, you're a great guy! I enjoyed talking with you through the forum and meeting you at Mego Meet. Don't let some message bring you down. Can't wait to see what you come up with next as you are creative and talented.

[VintageMike]

I haven't seen anything that from you that seemed odd. Sorry someone made you feel you had to reveal this.

[torgospizza]

I think your forum behavior has always been fine. Don't let a PM bum you out.

I agree w/ Boss here, Dave. I've never met you, but I like your posts and you seem like a good guy to me.

[thunderbolt]

well, that's pretty lame that someone would pm you like that. Don't let it bug you Dave.
