| Oct 23, 2017 at 12:17 | comment | added | Groggo | Just for future reference, phrases like "function normally", "light autism" "higher autism" and the like aren't really appropriate. They're kinda alienating for those of us who have autism that may be considered "higher" by some. Autism is a spectrum and is usually better described by key symptoms that are applicable to whatever situation is being discussed. As far as what would help me when questions are being answered, being super specific, avoiding metaphors/idioms and things that can't be interpreted exactly as they're written is a good start. Though I appreciate this is quite subjective. | |

| Oct 12, 2017 at 14:13 | comment | added | Otto V. | @dhein Good to know. By the way it wasn't even me who brought "suicide" into discussion. | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 14:11 | comment | added | dhein | And hey, I haven't committed suicide, yet ;D | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 14:10 | comment | added | dhein | @OttoV.: But that problem you have with anything. Everything could knowingly or unknowingly make a situation for someone else worse. But specifically for autism related posts, you can note that you dont have autism but hand in how you would handle it, so a tiny chance exists one would grasp the concept by that as Tineringbell allready mentioned. Or maybe someone else having allready solved that autism related problem for himself can answer. Thats most of the time what I expect from posting here and helped me allready quiet a lot. | |

| Oct 12, 2017 at 13:49 | comment | added | Termatinator | @Tinkeringbell I do know a Dutch school that specializes in people with mental disorders, Do you want a link to their website? (link will come late, I'm at work) | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 13:34 | comment | added | Tinkeringbell Mod | I'll take that into account when writing an answer :) | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 13:33 | comment | added | Otto V. | @Tinkeringbell I'm not talking specificaly about suicide risk or autism (autism and depression are just examples). Making things worse doesn't always mean it will cause suicide risk. | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 13:28 | comment | added | Termatinator | @Tinkeringbell not really that much (in my case, I have a light version of autism), but I can't speak for someone with a higher version of it. You could say that you don't know much about it (in your answer), or maybe you could open a seperate SE site for people with mental disorders. Maybe you could speak to them in the comments and ask about their disorder | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 13:23 | comment | added | Termatinator | @OttoV. you don't have to, just say that in your answer so that I am aware of that. Would it be a possibility to open a new SE site for mental disorders? | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 13:23 | comment | added | Tinkeringbell Mod | @Termatinator How much harm could a very wrong answer do to you, with regard to your autism? Could it make your autism/related issues much worse? | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 13:21 | comment | added | Otto V. | @Termatinator thanks for beeing open minded. I just want to say that i don't feel comfortable if i have no idea how the asker reacts to my answer. :) | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 13:19 | comment | added | Tinkeringbell Mod | Maybe this can be of help: interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/a/1738/1599. From what I know of autism, it influences your interpersonal skills but doesn't come with an acute suicide risk. People with autism, as far as I know, are also often able to learn to 'function normally'. So providing advice on what is considered a 'normal thing to do' doesn't do any harm IMO. I'll write up a more complete answer later. | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 13:12 | comment | added | Termatinator | @OttoV. if you have questions about my autism (you linked to my question :P), ask away. | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 12:55 | comment | added | English Student | Thanks for the timely and very relevant question @Otto V. As you will see here the meta questions about 'professional help' are piling up slowly but steadily, indicating the need for clearer community policy on this topic, and this list includes your current question: interpersonal.meta.stackexchange.com/search?q=Professional+help | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 12:46 | comment | added | Otto V. | maybe another question for english language & usage stack exchange? | |

| Oct 12, 2017 at 12:38 | comment | added | Otto V. | @OldPadawan thanks. I really don't want to use misleading terms on such sensitive topic. | |
| Oct 12, 2017 at 12:36 | comment | added | OldPadawan | edited, so you get the info. Please feel free to correct yourself and edit my edit to remove it :) | |
