Yeah I wonder what they'll be like.

what are the ones you've met been like?

Were they the really quite anxious ones or the real in-your-face "i'm acting retarded but I'm too autistic to realise and/or care" type?

I worry I come across as the second type, but I think I'm the first type 

If they're all like me though, no one will talk 

The ones I've met vary from it being obvious that they could function normally to individuals who's behavior is clearly not in the mainstream. I believe the problem of not talking may be alleviated somewhat with the visceral realization that you are in your own element.

My family is full of women.  I do wonder how I actually turned gay in the first place to be honest    Especially since I much prefer to hang out with men.

I want my own internet    Setting up a wireless connection by myself should not be this fucking hard

I really wanna go to York with the other autistic spazzes, but I dunno if I can handle it.

Whose going on this trip and when?

Are you close enough to York to get there Hadron? Have you been to an aspie get together? If not then I suggest you consider going there. If you or Soph do how about some pics?

It depends when they are doing it - its close enough when I am at uni but not for most of the year. I will do an Aspie get together at some point though, I certainly think its the best way to move our cause forward and improve each others lives. Its not like I haven't met quite a good few Aspies over the years, so I would have a good idea what I getting into. Most of my lecturers probably lie somewhere on the spectrum, for instance.

It's sometime in August I think
A day out there going to York Dungeons etc

It's a manchester group for aspies, but aspies from outside manchester can go too I think

Hmm, August is when I do a flying visit to my uni, so maybe able to pop along depending when it is. What are these Aspie groups like themselves, I have never been to them myself.

I've never been to one myself either (yet)

There's a university one here but I never got round to going as I was depressed when I heard about it and have loads of work to do now I'm better

This one I'm gonna go to does things like going to the pub, drama groups, walks, visits to places etc. They do a week at one of the centerparks places as well. So it's more of an active thing than just the usual support groups people go to. That's why I'm interested in it as I've been trying to get out more and meet people more over the last year, but it's difficult to keep up with most NTs so I've been limited to only things I can do/places I can go on my own.

It's called Aspirations (maybe spellt differently though) if you wanna have a look into it. This one is a mnanchester group but there may be others, and it does say people from outside the manchester area can come to most.

The info they sent me is downstairs but I'll find out when it is and let you know incase you decide to come along.

I've been to the support groups in general they make you feel lucky about how functional you are

Hmm, sounds pretty interesting, though it sounds like a long list of things that I would not need any support whatsoever in doing, I can get on a train, go out etc myself. Maintaining relationships with people is the bigger issue for me.

Would be intresting to find out when, its unlikely I will go, but if it fits my schedule, it might be interesting to go along to.

I think a lot of the adults who go (they do stuff for under 18s too) are mainly ok for things like that as well, and just go to meet people and socialise.

It's the maintaining friendships thing I have a problem with. I always managed to get friends in school/college etc, but could never keep up with it for some reason.

Anyway yeah I will let you know the date later or tomorrow incase you're up there around then.

Fucking Firefox 3.5 update hosed itself in the ass something bad. Had to uninstall Firefox and delete all evidence of it before reinstalling it and all my extensions and bookmarks etc. fuckity fuck fuck.

My sympathies. I'm going to wait before upgrading.

It's all good now.

I'd upgrade all your add-ons first, and then back your shit up.

I have a feeling I am gonna be up all night sorting out the permissions on zomg

Some people here might think it's a blessing that Cal cannot access half the forums there, but he is a mod dammit
