I have recently discovered a new Aspie support group in my city. :D It's the first one of its kind in my area. 8) I am looking forward to it, but I'm not sure what to expect. :? Can anyone give me any pointers on what to expect, anything that I need to take along, talk about, etc?

Maybe try and practice 'host behavior'? Help to make other people feel comfortable and be a low-key leader without overdoing it.

That sounds cool. Let us know how it goes and what you guys do and talk about if you can.

I went to one and it was informative but when I asked a group leader a question he yelled at me on the phone for 20 minutes. Be careful what you say.

Now, that one, sounds like a crappy leader.
