| I'd go for a cat or a dog. They are excellent for company. The best place, in my opinion, to get a cat or a dog from is definitely an animal rescue (or Humane Society, as they are known in America). Just "google" "Humane Society" or "Animal Rescue" + plus your town name and see what they come up with. |

Has anyone been to an amish community? The amish lifestyle looks very "aspie-friendly" with all the simplicity, peace and routine. I definitely have an affinity with people who don't conform in life.
What does everyone else think? |

When I was six, our school dinner lady used to give us sweets every Friday and tell us stories as well. I can remember her saying "Friday is sweetie day!"  |

I've been in clubs similar to these and feel exactly the same way as they did in last nights one, as they've done things similar to the "Make a cardboard bus" type of thing. Its just so pointless!
