Why don't we start with getting our own version of Gallaudet (a university for Deaf people)?

Why don't "We" get together and plan out the financing, policies, and infrastructure of such a place?

I would happily immerse myself in such a project. Efficiency and synergy are my personal joys - and I'm convinced there are ways to compromise in almost any conflict. I'm not sure about limiting it to a university setting, but an aspire-friendly community would certainly require an educational system with higher learning.

Speak for yourself. I am AS, and am very sexually driven.

Is that why we have so many threads talking about 'how to get a hot woman'? and people posting photos of themselves/their torsos on here so regularly?

A lot of people on here seem to think themselves pretty sexual from what I've observed.
So either these people are at the NT end of the scale or aspies have varied sex drives just like NTs - which is it to be??

I think ASD and NT, even between different ASD people can and have, very different ways of expressing their sexuality.

There is no one size fits all 'norm'.

It's the same for every aspect of Asperger's/ASD so to expect everyone to get along in perfect harmony is unrealistic in my opinion.

No harm in putting it to the test though.

Isn't there already a version of Aspergia/place for people with ASD's within Second Life?

Surely that would be a good testing ground to see how people got on - build it in Second Life first.

The UN, after the world has been rid of the obsolete concept that we are not a neurologically different species.

I'm sorry ... how's that again? When what freezes over?
