Picture
I have a couple pictures... Do you like either of these? -- Danny (talk ) 18:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Until I can find a more current one, I guess the second one will work. --MuppetVJ 16:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, cool! You look nice in it. But yeah, if you can find something more current, that would be great. -- Danny (talk ) 16:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Your story
Fantastic! I love that you're planning a nine-part story -- it'll really be a full overview of your whole life. That's awesome. This is going to be really helpful for people. I like that you have separate places where you're directly giving advice to parents, and it's really smart advice.

If it's okay, I'd like to play with the formatting a little bit. I'll do that tomorrow.

Can you upload a little photo of yourself? I'd like to put faces on the stories as much as I can -- you can see Martha's picture on the Diabetes wiki.

This is so great. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this! -- Danny (talk ) 01:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks! I don't know how much advice I'll be able to give ... but whatever I have, will be in bold, and where it needs to be. I'll try to find a good picture of me as well. Also, I must say, I like this idea more than a MySpace page. :) --MuppetVJ 01:35, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Ha, yeah. You just get swallowed up in MySpace. I just saw your addition about clicking "watch" to get notified of updates... That's awesome. I think it'll be really helpful.


 * I just put the first bit of advice into a blockquote, which sets it apart. What do you think? -- Danny (talk ) 01:44, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * That's fine, but I think it'd look better in one of those gray boxes. How do you do that?--MuppetVJ 01:45, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Let me see if I can figure it out... -- Danny (talk ) 01:51, 30 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, I put the first bit in a box. I like it better in the blockquotes, though... -- Danny (talk ) 02:00, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Hooray!
Thank you! An admin finally pops back and deals with the nonsense. We need you to stick around if you wouldn't mind, and there are a couple of spam pages that need to be deleted as well. I've cleared a couple already. TLPG (talk) 23:15, July 13, 2015 (UTC)

Autism Wiki and Puzzle Pieces
Hi,

My name is Luna and I edit the Autism Wiki. I see that you are the only active admin and I'm wondering if you could help me.

The Autism Wiki uses a puzzle piece as its favicon (that red icon at the top of the browser tab). The issue is that the puzzle piece is actually an extremely divisive symbol that was popularized by Autism Speaks. If the logo were changed, it might make autistic people feel a little more welcome on the wiki.

Would it be possible to change it? Maybe we could do a rainbow to be cheerful and symbolize diversity. I have a little bit of experience with pixel art if you need someone to make a favicon. Please let me know what you think!

Thanks,

Luna

 * Autism Speaks uses the single puzzle piece. The logo here is not that. I suspect an over reaction and for this reason the request should be ignored. TLPG (talk) 23:45, September 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * The Puzzle piece I suspect Luna is referring to is [[File:Favicon.ico]], however, I do agree that it is nothing like the Autism Speaks logo. I'm curious as to what autistics would be made to feel unwelcome with the current images in place.--TwoTailedFox (talk) 23:57, September 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah I see. I thought she was talking about the multi piece logo on the main page. Anyway, you're right about it being nothing like the Autism Speaks logo. Therefore very very few autistics would feel unwelcome by it. TLPG (talk) 06:53, September 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure I get the symbolism of the puzzle piece. MuppetVJ (talk) 00:40, September 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Luna is claiming that the puzzle piece is exclusive to Autism Speaks and should be avoided at all costs because Autism Speaks is using it to demonstrate that we are unsolvable puzzle pieces. We all know that isn't true, but the puzzle piece also means that we are a puzzle that neurotypicals should be trying to solve so they understand us better - and we should provide them with all the positive and accurate information that we can, and not try to scare them either by concentrating on the issues of low functioning Autistics or by misleading others with speculation (ie like that Transgender article that I blanked and then you deleted thankfully). I say it stays because it goes with the main Wiki logo which shows a partially solved puzzle. Autism Speaks should be judged on it's actions, not it's logo. TLPG (talk) 11:38, September 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * MuppetVJ, the puzzle piece is basically a symbol very strongly associated with anti-autism groups. We have a page on it that elaborates on its history and symbolism. :) MissLunaRose (talk) 15:24, September 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * And I have now corrected it to reflect matters better. It was too biased in it's previous form. TLPG (talk) 10:09, September 13, 2015 (UTC)

Page deletions
Muppet, while going through the all pages section I discovered quite a block of spam. I've blanked the pages and marked them for deletion. I'll keep looking. I also want to merge some pages into the Antidepressants page and seek your approval for that move. TLPG 23:45, September 13, 2015 (UTC)

Heaps of problems
Okay, this is ridiculous now. There are a load of problems with the information on this Wikia and a lot of changes need to be made. I just came from the Causes of autism page which had major problems - I already deleted a section as completely wrong and a part of the treatment section which was also wrong. Once I've completed another aspect of my life off Wikia, there are going to be some changes and they will be big ones. We have to put the medications in proper perspective and get away from the idea that Autism is a mutation (that carries massive negative connotations) and eliminate other dangerous and inaccurate ideas - putting them in a category showing why it's wrong and how it's dangerous and so on.

 * Sounds good. --MuppetVJ (talk) 19:33, November 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * And you'll need to make me an admin to get it done as well. TLPG 23:58, November 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * I have now applied to adopt this wiki on my blog per the request of the adoption crew at Community Central. TLPG 08:21, January 8, 2016 (UTC)
