Let me know if anyone wants to do this again. I have a fairly large house near downtown Toronto and I'm not averse to hosting parties.

I'd enjoy meeting someone one-on-one more, but a small group of people would be fine, too. If you'd like to arrange something, feel free to PM me.

I would love to meet some of you but I'll admit I'm also quite scared to do so. Especially since it'd be in Toronto which will take time and money for me to get there and also I don't know the city and wouldn't want to be alone there for any period of time. If there was a meeting in my city I'd probably have a slight anxiety attack before leaving the house but I'd force myself to show up anyway, but with the extra effort involved in getting to Toronto I'm just not sure, I can't guarantee that I wouldn't chicken out. I also don't know any of you at all, which stresses me out just thinking about it because I usually dread meeting new people and yet I also really want to meet you guys. Stupid anxiety.

I saw you joined our group on Meetup. We're the group called "Toronto Adults with Asperger's Network". I'm also part of another group on Meetup that has to do with Asperger's, but Nansnick only comes to the TAA meetups for some reason.

London is pretty far away, but if you drive, it should be much easier. To the poster above, what city do you live in? I went as far as Brampton once by myself on the Go train and it wasn't that bad. I guess if you have anxiety it might make matters worse, but listening to music on headphones in public helps.
