Gilbert R.

I contacted a freelance editor on Editfast, but the person wasn't available. Instead, the owner, Robert Kidd, of said site contacted me and wanted to get the ball rolling as it were.

He was professional at first. Seemed like a decent sort, knew what he was talking about. I mentioned to him that I was cautious about my work potentially getting stolen, and he said he understood and asked that I send a two-page sample of my work.

I did as I was told, and proceeded to add that I have Asperger's Syndrome, a disorder on the autism spectrum. My intent was that if we were to proceed that I may not understand some of the more complex words of the business, and may ask for further clarification at times if were to proceed with him as an editor.

His tone immediately changed. Demanded to know why my full story was so short even though he asked for a two-page sample. I told him that I gave him a two-page sample as he requested. As soon as I started to back out of wanting to work with him, he started acting like I was the one in the wrong.

He called me an "imbecile" for not meeting his demands.

Avoid this site at all costs. Especially if you're mentally disabled like I am.
