Fantastic, I will put it on the main site too. :grin:

Thanks.

... i should just move to NYC at once...

The picnic was a success.  It was a beautiful day, everyone enjoyed themselves, and we all agreed we need to get together more often.  Passersby were curious to see our "Autistic Pride" and "celebrate neurodiversity" banners.  This will definitely be an annual event.

Fantastic! :grin:  Really glad you had a lovely day. It's very welcome news right now that something good is happening.
I have just been reading the Judge Rotenberg Center report and it's very tragic.

Knowing some good things happened today gives some hope.

Really glad you had a good day

It sounds excellent! How many turned up?

Eleven.  Not a lot, but I think a respectable showing for a first attempt.  Next year, with more lead time and publicity, we'll see what happens.

Maybe by next year, I will have convinced my parents I am aspie and will be able to come, too.
