What other ASD forums/websites do you frequent?

Post up the links, por favor. I'm boooorreed.

I did a search on my town and autism in Yahoo Groups and found a local group for Asperger's Families here in Tucson. Try that, type in your town/city/county and autism in Yahoo Groups. We actually just met in person and we share local information.

I visit two other forums like that but I don't post. Unfortunately they're Polish so I can't post them up - one is for adults, the other one for parents. (btw, Asperger Syndrome in our language means Zespol Aspergera ).

There are a couple of forums around that I'm a member of.

http://www.aspergianisland.com - it was quiet the last time I looked but that was late in 2007. My account has been de-activated there so I don't know what's happening now.

http://www.aspiesforfreedom.com - that's about as active as here at times. I'm taking a break from there at present while I settle in after a house move.

I could plug my own site (it's a Wiki) but it's more than just about Aspergers so I'll leave that up to you.

I might be looking for others soon, but it depends on a number of factors and I have things to deal with first - in particular the settling of the house move and the preparation of the coming football season!

No others currently. I was on AspergerInfo.com a couple of years ago, but left because I couldn't stand the negativity. The HealthBoards site was a good one, but it was very rigidly monitored and didn't all off-board contact. This site strikes a good balance between the two.

I mainly stick to Wrong Planet but I read a variety of Autism blogs. Although, it annoys me how many blogs focus Autism Speaks or on mercury when that isn't something I'm interested in. I guess it's because there are a lot of parents' blogging...

There are a couple of Apsie tribes on Tribe.net...that may be where I found out about WP, and it was over there where someone suggested I look into the autistic spectrum in the first place.
My favorite tribe name is "Wild Aspies"..there is also a tribe called "Autism/ADHD"...and another just called "Aspergers Syndrome"...It was over there where there were a few folks who would flame anyone who was self-diagnosed....so i was made to feel unwelcome and like I had made an ass of myself..so i left at least one tribe and lurked for a long time...Meanwhile I was moderator of my own tribes....."the social anxiety tribe" "adults who don't drive cars" "tribe for the socially inept"....9i am also the moderator of an ADD tribe that I didn't create)....and so on....lately I have ot been able to log inot tribe...which stinks, because I have alot of pictures stored in my account

Nope...just this one.

As for forums, I mainly stick to WP and my own (sig). I go to AFF about once in a blue moon these days (less familiar territory), and as for blogs I really used to enjoy Kevin Leitch's blog. Too bad he decided to close it (thanks, JB Jr. ). I really should frequent autism blogs more though... I have a whole list at my site and never get round to reading them much.
