OK, I have a tendency to speak my mind, however I usually can restrain it...this time I can not.

I have an adopted daughter with Aspergers. She doesn't appear handicapped, and in fact is very intelligent, however, she is very handicapped. While I was ill she was in a voluntary placement that allowed her unmitigated access to the internet. She discovered these fantasy life sites. She came back so hooked and obsessed with that crap she would sell her soul for it. (I am missing stuff) She is now in an institution. We specifically said not to allow her access to the internet. Aspergers people have a very hard time controlling obsessions to fantasy stuff.

It is a shame, but another life ruined because of the net. her obsessions were hard enough to deal with prior to the exposure to these sites. It is like CRACK to these people. They have to have it, and many of them are afflicted with autism spectrum conditions.

The internet is fabulous, however who benefits from sites that give people fantasy lives they PAY for? Isn't that like 'adult' sites, or even like games that teach people to fire at will with the precision of a military trained sniper? NO GOOD comes from this. There is a sucker born every minute and these unethical conscience-less people know that.

Any one who invests in this crap is an opportunist who preys on the illness of others. Yes, that is judgmental, and probably not politically correct, but at times you just gotta say what you gotta say.

End of rant.
