Quit, Deactivated:

• Daniel William Gray
• Statement: Profile bio:

Things have gotten a bit too intense in the autism-Aspergers debates on here.

Some troll reported every single comment just because he or she didn’t like what I was saying.

People are ignorant that a certain low IQ is considered legally retarded, and retarded in that sense is not an “insult” nor a personal attack.

I can’t deal with this level of ignorance, so will deactivate my account for a while.

• Statement:

“Hi guys, it’s Niyati. My parents were made aware of my Quora account and read through all of my answers. They were not angry but rather scared that I had jeopardized my safety through my account and answers, some of which included real pictures of myself.

We felt it was safest to delete my account, and I am sorry to say I will not be returning to Quora, in the near future or possibly ever. This was an extremely difficult decision for me- all of my 902 followers have to know I had my finger over the delete button for five minutes, crying my eyes out.

Thank you to everyone who has shown me support on Quora. This website helped my mental health in ways you cannot imagine. Although I will never return to this wonderful community, the memories and connections I have made will never leave me.

I wanted to let you all know that I was writing under a pseudonym. My first name was real, but I changed my last name for privacy (although that didn’t do much). V is actually my middle initial, and I chose the name Vishwanath because it was a Tamil name, and I am Tamil.

Thank you to everyone again for all you have done for me. I guess this ends my last ever Quora piece.

Wishing you all the best,

The Cosmic Lion.”
