Greetings!

I am new to WP and I have been researching it for links related to meeting (general social interaction as well as dating) other Aspies in specific geographic regions.

Can any of you recommend previous, related-links or filters within WP that would allow me to find anyone nearby (northern WV) or am I the first to recommend such a search tool? *gasp* 8)

Many Thanks and Happy Weekend!
Chris

I was on a different website once that linked to some 3rd-party free page where everyone could put a peg on a world map for where they lived and everyone else could use/see it too. Anyone know of it? It should be found, used and stickied! :D

That would be awesome!! ! They used to have a site called frappr...I think that was it??? It has been closed since then. But maybe they have an alternative out there somewhere!

There is a map like that on this site! I found it when I first joined. It's in the "getting to know each other" forum near the top. Look here: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postt104660.html
But you should know there are 3 different maps. So hit the "next" button at the bottom if you post a pin and can't find it. You will need to look at all three maps to find everyone.

There was a thing like that in random discussion too, using google maps. It was unstickied and is lost in the archives now.

There's one in Getting to Know Each Other.

Houston doesn't have very many Aspies, though.
