damn missed it

I think it would be cool if they did something similar to the Olympics or the World Cup, where a different website would host it each year! I couldn't wait for WP to host it!

What about a physical meeting for people with AS? There's one in Tulsa, Oklahoma every month called Connections.
There are a lot of people who go there.

There is also Autreat, an annual gathering of autistic spectrum people from all over the world. It happens in the east coast of the US, every springtime.
