[QUOTE="Michaela, post: 17752, member: 12096"] Hi Tin Man... & THANK YOU for popping up for a chat... appreciate it! I'm also disappointed that it appears to be rather quiet on this message board. I rather thought at least an @ADMIN might have passed through & said 'hello'... hey-ho, I wonder if its all now happening on a Facebook group or something instead... I shall have to take a look? I think my hubby may well share your wife's thoughts re "back-yard-burial". Since my 'unmasking' has coincided with a MAHOOSIVE chronic-health 'flare' it would unfortunately appear to have 'amplified' my 'burn-out' & 'evaporated' any remaining 'bandwidth'. He's very sensibly opting to keep his 'head-down' atm!! I have to say I wasn't anywhere near as through at looking at the resource materials as you've been, (tbh I'm pacing myself, so as not too consider too much data in one go) but I'm nonetheless very pleased to share in the benefits of your findings. Re: missing "male-perspective" relationship training... might be worth highlighting it in a specific thread... you never know you might be inundated with replies. I imagine NDSA have probably just been very effectively lobbied & it was something that was advocated for by a good number of women. Historically neurodiversity has had a significant 'male-bias'... perhaps now you've spotted the omission this is a good one for you chaps to lobby/advocate' for (... although, not having done the course it might be more inclusive than it looks... perhaps it's just poorly titled... & not the single binary it appears, but instead covers all orientations) Anyhoo, it's great to know someone noticed my post! Shall we be determinedly positive about our lack of responders & carry on regardless!?. Good to know you're 'out-there'. Keep talking & don't forget to RUN... if your wife ever heads to the bottom of the garden looking exceedingly resolute & carrying the spade 😉 [/QUOTE]
