I also think when the poster of a thread clearly says certain advice is not supportive to them that should be respected.
I agree. This is why anytime I don't understand something or am really upset at something that happens here on the forums, I take it to a moderator. I feel like a child doing it, but it has helped. I have been "talked to" because of standing up for/defending myself. I've had people put me on ignore simply because I stated that their advice was hurtful or doesn't apply and to not repeat it over and over again. I have also posted a similar thread such as this and the moderators deleted it (interesting they haven't closed this one down yet). So now, I simply go to the moderators for an explanation and to see if their perspective is the same as mine (because emotions sometimes clouds things). But the main response I get is that I have to remember that there is a huge array of people represented here: high functioning to low functioning, different disorders, different levels of intellect, different ages and cultures, etc. So while it might be difficult at times, we have to practice patience and know our own boundaries.
