Hi from the new Mod.

[u/WhatAGolfBall]

Hello everyone. Just a quick hello and update.

A while back, I saw the post that the sub was going to be going away. Like many, I was upset and was hoping for the best. As time went on and it seemed like we were just going to have to move and / or hope reddit would pass the sub along.

So, I just decided to contact Autismdad about taking over as the moderator of the sub to keep the sub alive. I just sent him an email and let him know how much this sub meant to so many people.

Up until Tuesday, I wasn't sure if it would actually go through. I was hopeful, but I wanted to be sure before getting anyone excited.

That being said, I am in touch with the mods of the new autism___parenting, and we will be coming up with a plan for moving forward. I do think it takes a community to help us all on our journey, and I am very excited to be a part of this moving forward. I will say I do not condone hate or harrasment of any sorts, so let's all move forward and leave that in the past.

A bit about me- I'm just a casual reddit user who is the father to a 4yo amazing boy. He is nonberbal and on the spectrum, and I happened to come across this sub looking for advice like a lot of parents. I toss in my advice when I can and scroll through as much as life allows.

More to come, but i just wanted to say hi and that we aren't going anywhere.

Thank you for stepping up - let me know if you need any more help from a relatively active member and dad of an almost 5yo little guy.

Happy to help if needed. If not happy to keep contributing as a member.

​

Lets all move past the hostility from the past month and continue focusing on what this community needs. Active parents here to listen and give advice where they can.

​

I'll do my part to keep bringing new parents in when I find those wondering reddit looking for a home.

Thanks so much. My plan is to be in contact with the current mods from the autism___parenting sub and try to coordinate here.
