Most people tend not to understand the difficulties involved, these kids are on an emotional rollercoaster, and we as parents, get dragged along for the ride.

Good luck with your mission

I'm coming before the Community at this time to ask something of all the big major alliances and empires. My foster son Mosiah has been playing this game for around two years now. He is 15 and has Autism.

Hey mate, been a while.

I've known taddpole for a long time in this game and he's one of the most genuine people I know around here. Nice thing to see what you are doing for your foster Son.

I'm not sure if I've spoken with him before? The name Mosiah doesn't sound familiar, but i'm pretty sure i've spoken with your son when I used to play.

Anyway looks like the community is coming together to help out which is a rare thing these days.

Reading this almost made me think of logging in and passing over all my spare resources that i have laying around my account and even making him my only officer and letting my account sit there..... but well I haven't logged in for over 2 months and not sure if i'd want to tempt fate. :S

Would be interesting to know how many peace settings he has. i'm sure he's counting the number of messages he's getting.

So true. I just got a message back from the boy and I feel absolutely refreshed.

It looks like the community has really gotten him to open up

Mordack wrote:Honestly, I don't think anybody should realistically come onto a game like this one and expect to receive special treatment; regardless of their RL circumstances. We all have problems of varying degrees. I have a lot of sympathy with what you're trying to do, but I wouldn't be too hard on anybody who doesn't comply with your request. Also bear in mind that a lot of people don't use the forums, and that some people, perhaps due to past experience, are often suspicious of requests of this nature.

I declared peace because I have some experience dealing with autistic people, who are often much maligned and misunderstood, and also because I'm just generally in a bit of a good mood at the moment. It's either the gin or the weather. Good luck with this thread, and good luck to you and your son in the game.
