In lieu of appropriate social groups: What would you like from a ASD social group?
i don’t do pubs and don’t like going out at night.
So I thought cinema etc?
I would like to find an Asperger's group which meets in my local area! (That would be a start.)
One which meets in the daytime once a month, due to evening travel being unavailable in my immediate area, would be best.
A warm, comfortable, indoor location with comfortable seating and refreshments available. No distractions, such as TV or crowds, and based on a casual conversational set-up but with the possibility for invited speakers.
It would be nice to meet other people facing similar challenges and share experiences and resources. Pretty much a live version of this forum but with people who additionally understand the local geographical issues that make accessing most services out there pretty much impossible from here.

(This is a Link to NAS. But I am not certain that I am being very helpfull in this Thread so far, I think...)
I think I would be actually more interested in online groups rather than those where people meet and are close to each other physically.
Thank you Disambiguating Cynosure, but the 'National' Autistic Society isn't quite as National as advertised and doesn't list any services or groups relating to Asperger's in my area (or even within a distance where I could travel there and back in one day easily). Maybe one day ...
