As you can see on their home page, http://autistics.org/ has a virtual home on http://secondlife.com/, the most popular 3d virtual world.
(AFF has also joined Second Life, and we are looking for participants and people with ideas of what to do in there to promote acceptance and awareness!)
Autistic Liberation Front (aka: http://autistics.org/) has made an Autism Museum which will feature a virtual art exhibit (I think artists could maybe choose whether or not a copy of their pictures were for sale?), and they would like to hear from Artistic Autistics who would be interested in participating!
Contact: surumi at yahoo dot com (broken link to avoid spambots)
Also they are looking for suggestions and/or materials for other exhibits concerning autism from an autistic perspective.
The Museum is quite big and has already several display areas, conference rooms, guest apartments, and even an area of free stim toys for your avatar to use. Outside there is a memorial for the autistic children who have been killed (some of the same children remembered in this list: http://thiswayoflife.com/murder.html ).
There is lots of room for different exhibits.
Thank you in advance for your ideas and contributions!
Anything useful that is posted here (including questions) will be passed on to them at http://autistics.org/ because I don't think they are members here.
