    Not a Debate about an Autistic Community

    Vicky, thank you for putting this discussion in one thread, so that everyone is on the "same sheet of music". Vicky, could you please go into more detail about the annual DInner of Thanks? That sounds like an event that many might be interested in. Just to confirm, the intentional community...

    Hi

    Vicky, would it be possible to put the discussion of AutHaven and Pueblo in a thread? It might make it slightly easier to keep track of the comments going back and forth on one thread.

    A new website's view on "Theory of Mind"

    I wrote in the past on another forum that I think "Sally Ann" should be retired. It just doesn't make any sense on a stand-alone basis, and some of the other tests that are used with it appear to be just as bad. I have very mixed views on the whole "Theory of Mind". I read something...

    A new website's view on "Theory of Mind"

    I found this website through links, the author (not me) has a different view on Theory of Mind (ToM) than the "commonly accepted view". ASDCulture - home I'm still reading through the website, does anyone else have any thoughts?

    any one else ever think about just leaving?

    As in most things in life, "One size does not fit all". Some people would prefer a more rural environment, some would prefer a small village/town, some prefer a suburban area, some people prefer an urban area.

    Missing Details?

    If your boss is going to be there for any length of time, the only thing you can do is hang on until you know the system inside and out. People often don't realize how many "mental shortcuts" we use on a daily basis in the field of our expertise. Without any additional information, I still...

    Missing Details?

    (Bolding added) This is not an unusual situation. Your boss created this system and has had (years? decades?) to keep it running. In comes "The New Guy" who wants to change things and is used to a different system. Even if one assumes complete good faith on the part of your boss (and that...

    any one else ever think about just leaving?

    I've noticed previous discussions where posters discuss what amounts to a monastery or commune, while other posters are discussing what amounts to an apartment complex. There may be some cultural/geographical issues with the distinction, US-based posters were referencing separate apartments...

    any one else ever think about just leaving?

    Many of the more recent discussions on the "Aspie community" concept separate between "Aspie Acres" (a rural/farming concept) and "AspieBURG" (a smaller area in a larger urban environment).

    any one else ever think about just leaving?

    There's a reason that Walden is still one of the most popular pieces of American Literature. Walden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Star Citizen (Online Game)

    Star Citizen is an online game that is currently in Alpha testing, and looks to be the heir to the Wing Commander series, crossed with "EVE". Has anyone else here on AC been following the game/concept? I couldn't believe what I was reading when I first heard about it, I had long since given...

    Anyone Going to The AAC Conference?

    I could have phrased my prior post a bit better. Are you indicating that California, PA does not have "great public transport"? One of the biggest issues I've read in the past about prospective attendees is that many found difficulty in arranging economical transportation out to the host...

    Anyone Going to The AAC Conference?

    AspieSam, thank you for the information. For what it's worth, you've given more information in the quoted 4 sentences than most. Where do you think would be a "doable location" for the event?

    Anyone Going to The AAC Conference?

    One area where I think Autreat (the event that AAC in many respects is following up on) was behind in was marketing the experience of attending. Those I know who attended were okay with it, but It seemed that getting marketing content out was beyond the ability of the organizers. At this...
