Hey everyone.. New to this site and did not know really where to start. Hoping to talk to a few other Aspies as I have never talked to anyone who has it and hope to learn more about asperger's and maybe even make a few friends. It has been hard to make friends for me, but I guess most people on here understand that.
Tried to use the chat on here but it didn't work 
But hope to chat with some of you soon..
Ohh and I'm an Australian too.

Welcome, this is a very diverse community as you will discover. Another excellent website on the Autistic Spectrum Disorder is OASIS@Mapp
Oasis @ mapp
Tony Attwood is affiliated with this website, and there is a useful link to local organizations where you will find local support groups, services, etc.
I also like this website, run by Michelle Garcia Winner, an American, who teaches social thinking to ASD people and has a very practical approach:
Social Thinking
