| The need for peace and quiet is a challenge some days. I have been very open about my diagnosis, and many here have helped me in one way or another. I am building my own home, so I will have a place to be alone. Right now it is hard, because I do not yet have my own kitchen. I cook in the community ... |

| I have lived in intentional communities for about 25 years. Even though I have AS, I want to be with people. The last two intentional communities I have been involved with (including Dancing Rabbit Ecovillage, to which I currently belong) have many members who are quite accepting of those who are no... |
