aspies helping out other aspies.... how we have an advantage

Post Reply New Topic

I think one thing that gives us aspies an advantage is the fact that we have a group of people who are willing to help each other out. We find jobs through our aspie contacts, we find places to stay when we're visiting other cities, and we help each other through the hard times.

I think its great that an aspie can go on wrongplanet and find another aspie who is wiling to share his or her home.

We need to stick together. If we do so, we'll have an advantage over everyone else.

I've let other WP members stay in my home while they were visitning the area and I've been given a place to stay by other WP members when I'm out traveling. We have the biggest advantage that anyone has. We have a network that allows us to do things that others wish they could do.

The closest thing that NTs have is fraternities and even those aren't as strong as what we have. Sure, a member of a fraternity might be able to find a place to stay at another fraternity, but it isn't guaranteed and the other guy will probably have other stuff to do and won't want to meet someone he hasn't met in person.

If you want to get a job, you have an advantage if the employer is someone you know from WP.

What we have at WrongPlanet is totally awesome and I think we can use this to become quite successful.

Excellent. Who wants to start a student flat?

I think its a great idea, its also good for networking and making life long friends.

This is one of the aims of a group im starting up in my local area and im also part of a charity (committee member ooo go me) that is ran by people with neurodiverse conditions (i.e. not just aspergers but also includes ADHD/ADD, dyspraxic, dyslexic, tourettes etc) and im happy to be involved in something though at the moment progress is slow but things will take off i think some the founding members just need to get over themselves and realise there holding back on progress

Just don't all come at once I only have three bedrooms.

Well, right now I can't help, but I know we have a few japan obessed members. When I go over there on JET (teaching exchange, basicly I go over as a teacher for a while after I get my degree) anyone who wishes to stay is welcome to, although I do have rules

I cook, they wash up

Speaking of which, there's a chance I could be working in the DC area after I graduate.... Not confirmed or anything, so I don't want to make plans yet, but does anyone know of any aspies who'd be willing to share an apartment with me in that area?

BTW, If you're ever visiting my city, never contact me asking if you can stay at my place, unless you think you might enjoy the company of a dangerous ex-con, lol.
