Well my other thread opened a few avenues about aspies and our quirks so wondering if there'd be interest in an Aspie's social sometime in the NW?
Thoughts?

It was a bit trendy a couple of years ago with a few celebrities saying they had it.
My reading about they tend to lack social skills but they think outside the box.
It is fascinating the way peoples brains work and the gifts some people have. |

"Wtf is aspies ?
Aspergers syndrome. It's on the mild side of the autism spectrum disorder family."
Lets not use the word 'mild', it's not as severe as some forms of Autism, but it can still present many difficult challenges to those who have it, and these aren't always 'mild'. |

True; I was going by the standard functionality level within the spectrum normally summarised in the autism society literature. |

Albert einstein had it and when he died they studied his brain.
Cause he didnt use a certain part maybe to with social interection his brain like compensated for it and a different part grew more.
Those people who can see numbers and have amazing memories etc i think are all freakin awesome tbh
I love all stuff like that

I'm interested to see how this goes. I have a friend on here that has Aspergers. He struggles with reading people's behaviour especially on fab where some can be shallow.
I'd arrange something of yours goes well |

How can you refer to it as 'mild'. My teenager has high functioning Aspergers and we both face daily challenges, until you live with the condition or know someone who does please don't refer to it as 'mild'.
Rant over I'd be up for a social though  |

I don't personally refer to it as mild. I work with it every day and know the challenges, which differ from individual to individual; there is no one size fits all approach. I was merely summarising based on the definition given by the most recent autism society publication I read, one that attempted to sum up the various forms of autism to those unfamiliar with it. |
