Good morning Tuesday

I’m going for ‘Toy Shortage’

Blossoming I wonder what’s ‘hit the jackpot’ today? Any guesses?

I haven’t received my ‘Gransnet Daily’ for today yet.

I am currently watching atypical on Netflix about a teenager with autism, I am really enjoying it.

Is it good? Someone asked me if I'd seen it as she wanted perspective off someone who had experience of autism but I haven't even got round to looking at it.

Galaxy a book that I wholeheartedly recommend to you is ‘George and Sam’ by Charlotte Moore (of course, you may have already read it!)

My dad is on the Spectrum, as was his father.
My grandad would now be 102, so was not diagnosed, but he most certainly was.

Well, not quite ‘frowned upon’, but it’s not really used.
It used to refer to the more ‘high functioning’ end of the Spectrum.

Nanna8 I don’t know and I’m not interested. Best bet would be to look back through the thread or pm EP.
Aspergers makes life difficult, as I have reason to know, but people like that actress, or Monk the detective, Young Sheldon or The Big Bang Theory show how it affects life but how you can deal with it. The BBT also shows how infuriating it can be for others. I liked all those programs.

The term Aspergers is now frowned upon, and is not a diagnosis.
Instead the term Autistic Spectrum Disorder (or Condition) is used.

nanna8 yes I watched the Bridge and loved it. I too thought Saga was ver engaging.

Delia effect: yes, Delia Smith. A very famous and much beloved cook.
Quite simply, if she mentioned an ingredient or gadget, it sold in spades, often selling out.

Will someone please tell me what the Delia affect is ? I don’t really know who she is but assume she wrote cookbooks.
Talking about people on the spectrum of Aspergers, anyone watch that brilliant actress on The Bridge ? Scandi version. Saga something. I just love her and everyone I know likes to watch that just because of her .

Oh thanks. I realised as I said it I only have a vague concept of how You tube works. Dont know who its ownerd by, is it owned in the true sense of the word? Sometimes I find that kind of thing quite scary to think about, but am wittering now.

Might be the number of links. If they don’t check them, it looks like a list of links all relating to the same heading, in this case YouTube.

Hi Galaxy, I reckon it was an ‘executive decision’.
The (many) links were wholly irrelevant to the discussion, and as a poster suggested, possibly tantamount to spamming.

But why would that be? Lots of threads have links to the guardian or the times etc or Sky news say, they are all businesses in the same way YouTube is.

In retrospect, EP, I think that your threads were removed due to them each containing several links to You Tube videos.

I know BlueBelle.
As you’ve said before yourself, I’ve got quite a good memory, and I can pretty much remember who said what, and as far as the deletions on here are concerned, I’m baffled.

I agree too about Karen -
Karen, I do think that you should say something, or ask for your comment to be removed.

Maybe it would be nice to apologise to EP himself Karen not the thread
Just because EP has a different style of posting doesn’t make him a person to get mad at If his style annoys you walk on by There’s room on the forum for all of us Not everyone understands or uses the type of humour or banter displayed on here and surely there’s room for everyone
I m sure your not a harsh person Karen so let’s start again
FC I ve no idea what guidelines I crossed in my deleted post as I wasn’t being rude to anyone on this thread

If it helps EP, I don’t understand why most of the deleted posts were deleted either.

I’m truly sorry. I did come across as blunt but I’m not an unkind person. I feel very ashamed and I will be more careful in future. EPs posts and reactions just triggered me. I’m sorry.

I don't think that Karen1959 meant to be so rude - she was very blunt however.

I do find EP is quite intense but we do not have to read his posts if they disturb us in any way.

He does appear to be a really decent person with not much contact at the moment with face to face conversations so is talking to us on here instead.

Kindest wishes to all.

BlueBelle. I’m not a rude person. Sorry if you took offence. I’ll go back to lurking.
