PING: Susan
BessieBee
I avoided this group for several years because of one specific poster.
I've returned recently with a newsreader that allows me to kill file
that poster.
It seems, Susan, that you have an answer for almost all questions,
most of which seem to be knowledgeable. You also seem to have the
respect of some posters here. What I'd like to know is what your
background is. What's your education? Why should I pay attention to
your postings?
Before I put my trust in any medical provider I check out her/his
education and experience. Then I talk to them - face to face. Since
those options are not available on ASD I'd like to know what your
education and experience are.
Thank you!

I am not familiar with you, and seldom look much at asd for a while
now, but Bessie's unusual question irked my curiosity...
And your answer really is just about perfect. In these kinds of groups
your experience is more important thatn your credentials, and your
advice to approach advice from any source with an open but critical
mind was very well put...

Excellent advice, Susan! I have been using those guidelines when researching
anything on the web. I realise that any conclusion reached by any poster
could be wrong or only partly right, and it is up to me to, as you say, "do
my homework". Just as any poster could be wrong, so could a person with a
string of credentials to their name. Once again - I do my homework.
Thank you for your input over the years. Some I have agreed with, and some I
did not. Many thanks regardless!
Henry.
