Because they're apparently not in N. Carolina.
Lately, I've been working with my therapist and my parents to find support groups, events, and similar things for people on the Spectrum. I've found a single local one that I've heard pretty good things about... but the membership prices are outrageous (about $180/month).
There's only one other, mostly for people with "low-functioning" autism per se, though they have things for people with HFA too. However, it's run by Autism Speaks; enough said, I think.
What I'm wondering is: is this how it is everywhere, with a distinct lack of things in the area for people on the Spectrum? Or was I just born in quite possibly the worst place for somebody with Autism? I'm asking more out of sheer curiosity more than anything else.
Also, I won't be able to reply to many responses for the next day or so; me and my family decided to go on a vacation for my birthday today and my only access to the Internet is through my tablet (which I painstakingly posted this with) and my mobile phone. So don't think I'm ignoring the responses, because I read every last one of them, even if I don't always respond (mostly because I don't know what to say rather than just not wanting to).
That is all.
