Just do it!

Keep in mind, that for every question you ask and every posting you make, there are 1000 peeps that wish they had the courage and bravery to do so - everyone gains from reading through your experiences.

Also, search is fantastic!
 
Bear in mind also, sometimes people do read but don't reply... either because they have nothing to say on the subject or they can't think of something right away but will come back to you (I do that often)

"Let me get back to you on that"
 
Too true... In classroom settings or things like lectures I have no problem asking a question of the person doing the presentation... After the fact I've sometimes had people (who likely aren't Aspie) tell me how "brave" it was... I think nothing of it... If anything I find I sometimes have to stop talking... :D
 
I always hesitate when I post a thread, but recently, an aspie told me that what a great post it was and that made me feel so good.

I have also taken courage and typed out a 5 page letter to my elders ( I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses). For some time I have had the sense I should open up to them regarding my past, but very fearful of exposing myself. Then another one revealed that she had opened up and the elders were really supportive and I thought: if every one did the same, it would help a great deal and so, with a lot of fear I did it. It was just awful and I sobbed through most of it, but I took courage and handed it over to an elder who has been so kind to me and soon enough, another elder asked my husband if he knew that I was doing this? My husband did, but not fully involved and the brother said: it makes for sad, sad, sad read. And I sense a gentleness coming from him.

Some posts I do not answer to, on here, because I do not agree with the post and so, do not wish to offend. Other times, I will answer just to let the person know that their post is not in vain.

I try to live my life as: do to others, what you wish done to you.
