I am eddiedog8's mum. He is an eight year old child with aspergers. He has found this forum really helpful and has been able to communicate with people who I thought would understand him more than some of his NT friends. He is an exceptionally intelligent child and has some very mature ideas and opinions. He has not seen all of the post but enough for it to upset him tonight.

Could I please ask for the post of the above title to be removed and for some compassion and understanding for a young child who has been helped a great deal by other posts on wrong planet. I only allow him to post on random discussion and on the Kids Crater and I regularly check his posts and give him advice if I think his posts appear to be incorrect or rude.

His spelling and grammar will improve in time but this level of criticsm and personal attack could damage his self esteem.

I would appreciate the level of tolerance that I see from most people on Wrong Planet for him.

Regards

Eddiedog8's mum.

I thought this was rectified and the person who critisized your son has been spoken to.
I don't think most of us care if it is an 8 or an 80 year old with bad spelling. I'm 40 and I can't spell.
But thanks for letting us know that he was so young. We are really very tolerant here. Honestly.

eddiedog8's mum, sorry for this, I hope your son doesn't feel bad, most people here are friendly actually, and this person, who was a jerk with making that comment, it is ignorance on his part, because lots of people who can't spell right, can be for some reasons, like dyslexia and also because some speak another language.

And I agree that most of us assume that a person who posts is an adult or older, at least that happens with me.

I'm not sure really, but it seemed to me the possibility of the user (777) being a sockpuppet actually, considering he just registered and the nature of his posts, but not certain, and I am wondering if he will show here again.

Thanks very much for all your kind responses I will show these to my son tomorrow. On rereading the original thread I can now see that the vast majority of responses were indeed defending my son and I thank you all for that.

From what I have seen on these forums it is indeed a very supportive community and I would be only to pleased if he continues to use the boards.

Kind Regards

Eddiedog8's Mum

Hello to eddiedog8 and his mum! :)

Eddie, you have been a kind, pleasant person to have around here. I am so sorry that one of our members made that mean-spirited thread. I locked the thread earlier as soon as I saw it and I have now removed it. The member who made the thread has been warned for his behavior. He should not act that way again.

Please feel welcome to send me a private message (PM) whenever you need help or have any sort of trouble here on Wrong Planet. You can also contact MrMark, Quatermass, or lau, who are all moderators here.

Eddie's mum, if you ever have any concerns or suggestions for the site, don't hesitate to post a thread in the wrongplanet.net discussion forum, which can be found here: http://www.wrongplanet.net/forum13.html

Take care!
