Asperger's Syndrome and WrongPlanet,net

[firefox]

Since a big part of the Internet is being part of a community, it seems like introducing a community is worth a thread in General Discussion. Dr. Phil is doing a show on Asperger's Syndrome this 1/17.

http://www.wrongplanet.net/

WrongPlanet.net is a web community designed for individuals with Asperger's Syndrome, Autism, ADHD, and other PDDs. We provide a forum, where members can communicate with each other, an article section, where members may read and submit essays or how-to guides about various subjects, and a chatroom for real-time communication with other Aspies. Asperger's Syndrome, a pervasive deveolpment disorder, is a form of autism. People with Asperger's Syndrome usually have normal or above normal IQ's. It is described as an inability to understand how to interact socially.

1. Thanks!

My niece was just diagnosed last year with Aspie. Her mother, my sister-in-law, is an Ann Coulter clone who was freaking out about her daughter not being "normal". My husband, who possibly has it, was able to interact with his niece much better than his brother and his psycho-bitch wife were.
