We need to get ourselves out there and show who we are accurately. Everyone with autism/aspergers is vastly diffident and individual from each other. We are not all the classic textbook case and I think we can best get ourselves shown as who we are by posting a video on Youtube explaining what its like for us individually. I have already done this but because I'm a new member who hasn't posted enough yet it wont allow me to post the link.

However I strongly encourage everyone to do this. People power make a lot of difference if channeled in the right places

Aye, there are a lot of calls for action Chickems. I advise you to do this. Find others like you. Stay in communication. Plan. That is the basis of a future.
