I personally believe that support forums are good for us. For example, I am part of the GRASP online groups for indivduals with Aspergers. I believe it is good to have online group discussions because we can express ourselves in ways that we would not if we were in front of others. It is also another way to network with other people with your same interests. For me, it is good, and for others, it might be benifical. It is up to each individual preferences to what they like and don't like.
