She says that Australia is the best place because the government is lax, there is massive unoccupied land, and Canada might be at war with Russia for land if the icecaps melt. :)

She just knows stuff. She's an ASPIE, she isn't just interested in things in her own country!


Anyway, I don't know if she knows that for sure. Someone else said that Australia is very strict about people seeking asylum, and username88 said that Bulgaria is beautiful and cheap, and you don't have to speak Bulgarian to gain citizenship. :D

If I could meet some fellow cat lovers, I may want to attend. I would probably bore people with photos of my cats, just as some people show pics of their kids.

I was in a unit that was especially for aspies throughout secondary/high school so I saw aspies everyday for in total 3 years and 1 term I left in Year 10 and I moved away.

the only contact that i have had in person with other autistic spectrum people was when I worked at a day care for a little bit (talk about a hard as hell job) and there was a young boy there who was severely autistic. the lady told us to just make sure he went to the poty ( me and my gf where the only ones that actually did, so the poor kid would not go pissy home) but we got along fine, he liked to awtch mougly sitting on my lap, so we watched the movie together when i wasn't with my actual class.

Haven't been to partys per se. But have been to AS meetings that were disasterous. Yes all Aspies in the room. One person hogged up all the food and people didn't do well taking turns speaking. The talkative AS would not allow the quieter AS to talk so what I observed didn't work any of the times it was tried.

I really think you need socially skilled NT's in the room if nothing else to direct the flow of verbal traffic and see no one gets left out. And make them share food and make everyone clean up afterward instead of one of the females cleaning up while all the guys take off. But then again it seems a strain for NT's to be in a room full of us. I've noticed their expressions of discomfort. lol

Aspie party? That's funny. Is that something one would actually want? I mean, wouldn't you want NTs to liven things up a bit?

I can be as NT as anyone infact I used to liven things up in the aspie class I was in. At one point I started getting letters from people asking me to come back and that it is very boring in the class. That was from some NT teachers and some aspie pupils as well!! !!

Now that is rare having an AS classroom. I gotta say I would be bored to tears to be forced to be among all AS people every day. I've been told though I seriously doubt it that the AS people want me to come to meetings again and they like me. How would she know they like me? None of them express feelings. If they talk at all its about something on tv they saw. But I think good Lord these people are boring so I can't stand to go anymore.

Unfortunatly it was school and I had no choice in the matter. Actually I used to play pranks on everyone it was fun. In a nice. There was one who I think was LFA who hogged the computer and then later the stereo so we only had to listen to his music by that point I was going outside for break and lunch we were allowed to stay in that class for those occassions. So of them didn't know table manners I ended up teaching them it should've been the teachers job to do that.
