Group Info

Spectrumites is a group dedicated to the development of the autistic community. We do this by focusing on three areas - autistic rights activism, connections between autistic people, and support.

We believe that these three things are inseparable parts of creating an autistic community - support requires activism, as real support can only exist in a community that accepts people for who they are; activism requires support, as this will keep the activism grounded in the idea of helping real autistic people; and both these things require strong community connections.

This group is dedicated to creating a home for people on the autistic spectrum, however family and friends of autistic people are also welcome.

Stay awhile and try the coffee...

Not really any solid rules. Feel free to submit any of your art (there is a non autistic themed art category too) and just be respectful to the other members.

Just a question how far is too far when antagonizing curbies in pictures

:iconevilzakkie:
I think "too far" is probably the point where debate ends and insults begin.

The idea behind satirical pictures is to make a point, even if it's a particularly blunt point - and if the antagonising overshadows the point, then the point is lost.

The best way to think of it is this - Curbies aren't "bad" in and of themselves, they just have a lot to learn...

I just wanted to let you all know that I was invited to talk on Rosie O'Donnell's satellite radio show via phone about having Asperger's and also maybe even meet her. I don't know when it'll be, when I know I can post it here. It'll probably be next week. The show runs 10am-noon live and replays noon-2pm and I think 8pm-10pm EST

Thanks for letting us know - I've been trying to find a place to listen to it via internet, but no luck yet...

Any idea when it's going to be yet?

no I don't. There will be a recap of it at rosieradio.blogspot.com (I think that's the right url), but it would just be a summary. I think on sirius' website they have a link to listen, but you need an account. I can *try* to get a copy but it may only be allowed for personal use, I'll see what I can do.

You're welcome. I think it is a piece that a lot of people can relate to.

Noticed you've joined (here and at the website) - so welcome aboard. :)
