As requested by Amy, at least three of the dutch AFF members (including two ChatAutism IRC operators) live in the same area of the Netherlands (basically we live about 2 miles or less apart). Amy requested us to put up a few ideas to encourage the start of a local support, contact and awareness group. Given my time obligations (I make 24 hour study weeks and am joining a computer association's board) I think I'll have to let this one pass. Would like to help out where I can, maybe help organise a few events.
What we're probably aiming at is a small group of people which can help create awareness for AS and the spectrum in the Netherlands. There are already a few associations that work on this matter, like AutSider and PAS Nederland, maybe we can work something out (I'm moderator on the AutSider board and have good contact with the association's board)
What can we do as events? We can do meetings maybe or do something fun together, like LAN parties, movie nights, or attend some kind of convention together.
I'd really like to hear some thoughts from everyone!
