Hello all. I wanted to let all of you know that I am slowly making my way back to Gather. I have had a lot of personal stuff go on that needed my up most attention. It will be a slow transition but soon . . . more
I am an adult with Asperger's Syndrome and I read your comment on an article about AS. I recently spoke about Asperger's before a class of high school students, and one of my main points was that Asperger's is neither inherently bad nor good; it is a part of who I am, but does not define me.
Let me invite you to a new internet forum, ASD Writers, a new internet forum site I created about a month ago, where members may participate in discussions about various autism spectrum disorders and related disorders (and the issues and concerns surrounding them), share their writing and other creative accomplishments (poetry, music, art), and engage in fun text-based roleplay (graphical sex or other adult material never allowed). The site is geared towards two audiences: those who are on the autistic spectrum or have a related disorder, and those who either know someone on the spectrum or simply want to learn more while having fun.
Mariah, may the season and the holidays fill your heart with warmth in spite of stresses and hard times. Lots of hugs and warm thoughts are going your way.
