Even if there isn't, I'm sure there are quite a few of us in London.
I, for one, would like to see that exhibition :)

I'm looking forward to this very much. :D

:?: I have a question before I catch my plane for Autscape on Tuesday morning: are we planning on staying at the pub, ( in Hammersmith ), or moving on somewhere else at any point? It's not a problem either way; I would just like to know in advance, and also in case of being late and maybe having to find you all somewhere else.

See you all there! :)

Well I had a fab time. Great to have met so many people - thanks all for making me feel welcome! :)

Roll on the next one - and I guess I'll see some of you around the forums and the chat room.

I really really enjoyed the meetup, I think it was one of the best ones ever. It is very nice and calming being with aspies. And always a good laugh. I'm not sure what it is as every aspie is different, but i always feel "easy" with aspies, like I can be myself.

Perhaps it's that we're not expecting everyone to be "normal", and we know we're not going to be judged or criticised.

I had a lovely time too, thank you LB for organizing it.

I always find when going to aspie meetings, that I can connect very deeply with some people, and find such connections overwhelmingly intense and meaningful, subsequently I find a 2 or 3 hours is all I can bare.

Apologies to those I was unable to spend time with.

Much love to you all from Hammersmith.

Chris

Yes, thank you, Lotusblossom. I was pretty shattered already after Autscape, and a day in London after it, so I'm afraid I wasn't up to much, but really enjoyed being by the river, and talking to a couple of people.

Ditto, criss, about the deep connections with a few, but burn-out after short time.
