Would you move to be near other Aspies?

Some of the parents who attended seemed surprised I was running the group, as if someone like myself couldn't possibly be 'in charge'

That does'nt surprise me. It upsets me, that often Aspies arn't seen as "capable" of running a group, but sadly, it does'nt surprise me.

Anyway, we're moving considerably off the OP. I realize that you probably would'nt want to move to be near other Aspies, but I wonder if social groups would be a possible attraction to a particular location.

I'm not sure if doing this over the internet is really necessary. I.e. Just because we are Aspies who met on WP doesn't necessarily make a good enough reason to move in together. Your neighbors are Aspies... So why do you need to move a great distance to build community?

I'm gay and creating communities in large cities is how we fixed our problems. Though, eventually it was spread back to smaller cities as more positive attention was directed our way. I have no proof but I would say that it had a positive affect on gay's mental health as ostracization went away. I bet social anxiety would lessen as ostracization was lost.

We need to create communities in the big cities and be less spread out. I know power isn't a focus for a lot of Aspies but to be recognized by NT society as not crazy or freaks we are going to have to display power. This is how we'd do it.

They don't allow gay marriage because of personal reasons. Who is to tell what they would do to a community of people who they think are sociopaths? Opinions change frequently in the NT community and there is no telling what they will be tomorrow.

I would do it if it was not a permenat thing where like a get away for every once in a while.
