I will bet the entertainment in this hypothetical commune of yours would be a real hoot.

In my experience, Aspies tend to be very talented, so I am inclined to agree with you.

...seriously though, an aspie commune? Does that mean I can not look at people or appear standoffish to them and they won't think I'm a horribly rude person? Does that mean that I can not talk at all when I'm in a group and nobody will judge me if I start going on and on about random stuff? :")


I think this is the idea. maybe not exclusively for aspies, but to create a real aspie-friendly community where our unique aspie talents aren't merely tolerated, they're embraced and recognized as a vital part of the community.

In my city there's an aspie meetup group. I haven't yet gotten out to one of their events, but my understanding is that a person can go and introduce themself and then sit like a bump on a log just observing for the rest of the time, or they can throw themselves into the conversation/activities etc if they're so inclined, or even wander off if that suits them. sounds nice, doesn't it? :D

So down! But only if it's in Aspen, that would be poetic.

I wanna live in the underwater city Rapture in its heyday. I like it ideologically and I like Art Deco etc.

This type of topic is regularly discussed in the activism thread, through I doubt that an underwater city is one of the current possibilities.

If anything, it should be located in Asperg, it's a location in Ludwigsburg not far from Stuttgart here in Germany. :P
