Hey there,

I live in Portland, OR. I haven't met any people in my meetups that have been on Wrong Planet, so I am reaching out to find you guys! Is there anyone here in the Pacific Northwest (from Vancouver WA to Vancouver BC, including Portland, Seattle, etc) lurking in here?

I live in Portland. But why would I want to "meet" anybody?

Pick their brain? Sit in a pub with other people in non- awkward silence? Share your opinions in an accepting space?

IDK I'm just a weird NT social butterfly

I heard Portland was a nice big city to live in, like seattle but much more navigable. correct me if i'm wrong here.

It is a nice city if you have to live in a city; I prefer not to live in a city if I can so I finally escaped :) It's cleaner and traffic is better compared to Seattle and it has nice parks. I just meant where was everybody all the time I lived there! Only now they appear :P

I'm in Vancouver BC. I'm actually looking around to see if there are any AS social groups.. not turning up too much.

Specialisterne is an international nonprofit which has the singular goal of enabling 1 million jobs for people on spectrum. DO check them out! I conducted an interview on national radio regarding my experiences with Specialisterne and SAP.

On a more local level, Focus Professional Services is a consulting organization based in Vancouver, Canada that attempts to hire people on the spectrum to act as IT consultants. They're a very new organization.

For those of us in Vancouver, there is an Aspies Meetup group; pm me if you're interested. I look forward to seeing anyone in Vancouver either in person or in a larger gathering!
