I've never attended such meetups and am curious - what are they like?
In any case, I'd be on holiday on the 13th.

Normally people sit round a table chatting about their experience with aspergers and their life, often we go on somewhere else to explore (museum, park) and go to a cafe/restaurant for something to eat. Its much like any social occasion without distressing banter/teasing or scorn which one might usually experience. Ive made some good friends though meet ups.

I can't go anywhere on my own yet due to anxieties but I may consider meetups once I get over this hurdle :)
Edit: Wasn't implying that I'd go somewhere like London on my own, but it would look a bit stupid if my parents were also around the round table!

I don't know London very well, so could I perhaps get directions from Euston Train Station? Will it involve going on the underground? Or would a bus be a better option?

It's basically located near Holloway Road tube station which is on the piccadilly line.

Your best bet would be to come out of Euston Station and Walk over to Kings Cross St Pancras (it's about a 10 minute walk you could get the tube but I'd walk it personally)

At Kings cross you want to get on the Piccadilly Line north bound and its two stops away. The first being Caledonian Road the second being Holloway Road.

At Holloway Road when you come out the station the place is on the lefthand side if you keep walking up the road you will see it on the right hand side.

I need to check as they closed the Piccadilly Line this weekend from Kings Cross to Cockfosters, if they do the same next weekend we might have a problem. Might be easier to go back to Hyde Park :lol:
