Hiya, Leanne & Nicky! I'm just thinking about May's Q&A, I'd love to feature one or the other of you. Are both of you planning to be around in May? Maybe that will help us figure out the best course of action - eg. if one of you is on holiday for part of that time, then we'd go with the one who's around more. If you're both around then we can just flip a coin! ; )

Welcome to the Member Q&A's section!
We have two different types of Q&A's - one is for all of our new or returned members of Talk about Autism, and the other is a regular, monthly Q&A which features one member of our community at a time.
1. How to participate in the New (and returned!) Member Q&A: All new members of Talk about Autism are invited to drop by and answer 5 quick questions. This gives us an opportunity to get to know you a bit better, and you will be able to find lots of new friends! If you've been a member of Talk about Autism for a while but haven't visited us for a bit, you are also welcome to participate in this Q&A.
To participate, visit this page and you will find more detailed instructions: New (and returned!) Member Q&A - the spotlight is on you!
2. How to participate in the Monthly Member Q&A: Each month we will have a Q&A with one of the members of Talk about Autism. We'll spend the month getting to know the person a lot better, asking questions and getting their advice and tips. To get things started every month, we open the floor by asking the same basic questions to each person. Then the rest of us can ask any other questions throughout the month.
Anyone can volunteer to participate in the Monthly Member Q&A, no matter whether you are a brand new member or one of our longtime members. We'll ask the same questions of everyone, but if there's a question which you personally are not comfortable with answering - please don't hesitate to "pass" on that one. We'll hold no hard feelings - this is a place where we want to respect each other's boundaries! To let us know that you're interested, simply leave a comment below or send me an email at mike@talkaboutautism.org.uk. You can also nominate people, and then we can ask them if they'd like to participate.
Other ways to get involved:
We have many opportunities to volunteer in this community. Please visit our Volunteers Welcome! page to find out more.
If you have any other ideas or suggestions please leave them below!
Mike
