Aspies from Iowa?
Looking to start a local group here in Des Moines, Iowa. I'm hoping for both aspies and the parents/loved ones of aspies.
Also, I'm very curious, since I've never seen an Iowa aspie here.
Speak up here or drop me an email. It's time we got a bit more organized around here.

Well you're in luck, or you might not be, under the circumstances.
I'm an Aspie from Iowa, and it's nice to know there's someone else here from the state as well (I was wondering if anyone would ever appear here in the wired). I don't live in Des Moines though. I live in the South West side of the state in Iowa City, around a two hour drive from where you are.
We actually already have an Aspie group in that area known as GRASP. We have two meetings on the second and fourth Saturday of every month and always welcome new comers. If you're interested I can give you further details either from myself by E-mailing or IMing me or you can Google us to find a site that gives off details about our whole group. We're currently working on a site for our specific group, which we hope will be online in the coming months.
Anyways, it would be nice to meet you sometime if you could make it. We're aware of the trouble of traveling such a distance, (there's a girl all the way from Pella who comes to our meetings every once in a while) but we always like to try to expand our group as best we can.
Lain,
Thanks for the invitation. It’s a bit far for a regular meeting, but I would like to come down and see how your group works. Can you tell me the address for your website? I’m building one for the group I hope to create here in Des Moines and I’d like to see what you guys are including. I may even be able to help out
I have talked to a lot of people here in the “metro” who need access to resources and shared experience. I have been able to find nothing in the city, though I’m sure someone will follow this post with a whole pile of things I just didn’t see
I’m considering affiliating with GRASP, along with a few other options, so I’d be very interested in what experiences you’ve had with them.
Thanks for the information, and stay in touch - I’m looking for any advice I can get. This is a far more social activity than I normally like
