Do WrongPlanet members really don't know what Autscape is all about?
Or are they just joking?

I am still wondering about this.

But how come most aspies on WrongPlanet don't know about Autscape?
Isn't it strange?

Surely all aspies on WrongPlanet have a right to know about Autscape. Right?

Well, as it says on the Autscape website:

Why doesn't Autscape advertise more?
The main reason is that Autscape already cannot provide places for everyone who wants to come.

I have been reading WrongPlanet for a while now and this is the first I have heard of it. Thinking about attending though, if I can afford it. West Yorkshire is not too far away from where I live. The thought of all those people I don't know makes me very anxious, plus the thought of feeling like an impostor because i am not officially diagnosed.

But I hope I can get over those concerns because i can see that it could be a very valuable experience.

This FAQ is from last year.
This year, Autscape has a new venue.
I think there will be places for everyone who wants to come this year.

It says on Autscape's website:
"All varieties of autistic people from all parts of the spectrum are welcome, whether diagnosed or not. Diversity enriches the experience for everyone".

I post about it on WrongPlanet as much as I can, but if we want Autscape to be well known on WrongPlanet than we need a few more posters to help me post about it.

This year's venue is much larger than before, so I would be very surprised if there is any difficulty fitting in everyone who wants to come.
