A few years ago, Aspergian Island was among the only autistic/neurodivergent communities on the Internet. Nowadays, it is a website which promotes vacations on islands across the world: http://www.aspergianisland.com/
Oh, the times, they are a changing... :)

I had my hopes up for a second there, thinking they might offer a holiday to Kerguelen... stupid placeholder sites. :evil: We hates them, we hates them forever!

I remember years ago on WP, several members here had a thread in which they were discussing setting up a real life community just for people with Aspergers, all self sufficient etc. I wonder what became of that idea.

Aspergian Island is not longer active, but a real life community for people on the autism spectrum has already been established in New Mexico:
