[Guest guest]

Terry,

This is the only group that I joined

as it is properly moderated and membership is controlled.

Reccomendation!

Hello all!!

I am enjoying all the interesting threads running here, and hope more are

forthcoming!

I have an Asperger's group within Mensa's Special Interest Groups. I have

membership restricted so spammers do not get in, and prospective members

must write a comment as to why they wqant to join.

We have currently 224 members living in 14 nations. Non Mensans are allowed.

On 31 December I received a request to join, with an unusual comment from

our new member. Here is it following, and I never heard of this before!

" Comment from user:

A physician recommended Mensa to me because of the existence

of an Asperger's related group. I have not joined Mensa yet,

!

and would

like to know what their Asperger's SIG has to offer. "

We talk about AS effecting our lives as do we here

in ASPIRES.

I am perplexed a Physician would reccomend joining Mensa just

to get into a SIG for Aspies! There are MANY AS groups in Yahoo,

Google and MSN groups! I do not know yet what state this person

resides in . Looking forward to hearing more about this.

Has anyone been reccomended to AS online groups by Doctors or

Psychiarists??

Cheers to all!!
