If anyone else is interested, please let me know. I'm beginning to prepare for my first official "outreach", an exhibit at the nonprofit exhibit area at the South Dakota Festival of Books in Sioux Falls, SD, Sept. 26-28 and I need all the advice and assistance I can get. That's especially true in the area of development of the informational and promotional materials I'll need for display and distribution.

For those of you who've already responded, I've either just emailed/PMd you or will do so shortly. Thanks!

Speaking for ourselves seems a good idea.

sounds fascinating. What passes for the equivalent of a job description?
Resume?

You mean for the advisory board? You just have to have AS/ASD, ADD/ADHD, or a learning disability and a vested interest in helping adults with these conditions. Some knowledge of grants, fundraising, marketing, nonprofit management, etc. (not all of them, just one) would be really helpful, too. I'm working on trying to find start-up grant funding now.

I could certainly sit in on a conversation on any of those things but am not any kind of expert in any of them either.
If thats what you are looking for i'm not the guy you want. If you want a psychologist whos an aspie and an aspie whos a psychologist, I'm your guy.

I'm high functioning and would love to help others climb.

Pretty good at it 2.
