Do you host aspie gatherings at your home?
If so, what was the largest number of aspies you have hosted within one gathering?

I hosted a self-advocacy aspie/autistic gathering on my front porch, yesterday afternoon.
Ten aspies participated in the gathering. Some traveled for a few hours in order to get to the gathering.
It was productive, eccentric, peculiar and lots of fun, fun, fun.
Some people argued (quite loudly) about how to change society for the benefit of all autistics, others quietly rocked, one quietly danced. At one moment, I noticed two participants were actually lying nearby, sleeping. It was funny. Very anarchistic and very nice.

No, but it has crossed my mind.

I have no outside space that would comfortably fit a gathering.
