Hey Androol, if you find a support group in the lower mainland could you let me know?

OH, ME!

I'm in North Vancouver and pass through Vancouver regularly via public transport. Will probably edit post later with a real introduction. :oops:

I've been wanting to call either/or both ACT BC or Autism BC to see if they can develope an meet-up support group for young adults with Asperger's.

My first attempt was a little awkward. The person on the other line told me to set up a meeting and bring documents of my diagnosis. I think she might have thought I was looking for housing or financial support. I'll be working on making the calls and making myself understood.

Anyway... I suppose um, whoever interested in a meet-up group - let's introduce ourselves to each other. I'll start:

I am Andrew, 22 years old, grew up in Surrey, got my undergrad degree from UBC a while ago, and now pursuing graduate studies in chemical engineering at UBC and becoming a researcher in alternative energy.
