Message: <blockquote data-quote="Doctor Futurity" data-source="post: 7757805" data-attributes="member: 10738">Hopefully we all recognize that the best approach here is to recognize that personal responsibility goes both ways. When your needs are specialized and unusual, it is usually best to notify those around you in advance. Conversely, not all people are equipped to assist those with special needs, so perhaps it is better to establish (before any game ever begins) whether a game table is able and willing to handle such special considerations. "I have trigger alert issues." "My table may not work for you then. But that table over there is designated as a safe space."Problem solved. Right?....to those saying, "But you should be able to accommodate this person," let's be clear that I am in no way qualified to provide for or handle their psychological issues, nor do I wish to be put in the position of having to do so. It's my responsibility and right to recognize when my own failings prevent me from being able to help them with theirs. Likewise, I do not want to accidentally contribute to their limitation by pure error of omission or unfamiliarity with their needs, and as such feel it is important that I be able to state clearly that I cannot assist on those grounds. Perhaps, if no one else can do so, then I might be able to step up and do the best I can.....but only because I feel empathy for their situation, not because I am in any way qualified or trained to be able to aid them in their special needs.</blockquote>
