Despite Wrongplanet.net being a cool aspie website, what other places have you see aspie groups.
MySpace, Bebo, Facebook?

Anyway I'll start
----

Bebo.com (just found the group has been removed)
Crunchyroll group (Aspies 4 Life) - (CR is a video website like YouTube but mainly focus's on anime and such)

There are a couple of common ones
Neurointegrity
Aspies For Freedom
AspieWeb.net

Aspergian Island is technically WrongPlanet.net's sibling. Aspies for Freedom (and related sites) also share Aspergia as an ancestor.

A couple of years ago, many of the forum moderators got quite angry at Alex and started a host of new forums, each with a handful of members: ASDGestalt.com (which wasn't quite formed out of the anger but more out of a desire to study the neurology of ASDs), On the Spectrum, Intensity Squared, and more. The fact that the mods splintered into several camps (many people joining all or most of the new forums) goes to show the level of disorganization and disagreement inherent to aspies in groups.

Interesting to see the "family tree"/lineage/ancestry of websites-I'd get a kick out of a chart showing these.
AFF is pretty large, so far as I know-membership # rivals that of WP. Haven't joined, though-I landed at WP first & have pretty much stayed here.
I still particpate at Gestalt.
OTS seems to hit long lulls of inactivity, but that's not meant as criticism of anything inherent to the site.
Intensity was not for me, my personality isn't inclined towards that standard of discourse there-but, there are no doubt plenty of WP folks who would (and do) enjoy communicating there.

You mention anger.
What made them angry?

Actually something similar happened to a site I was on a year ago, before I joined, and during, where quite important and much loved groups/individuals left and formed new sites, and although I suspect a fair percentage of their members may be aspie/AS it wasn't an AS site at all.


Yes, I was fascinated by that on this other site. I wanted to understand how it had all happened, in what order, why, and with whom, etc. It was fascinating finding out bit by bit how many old members had formed XYZ, ABC or 123, and which then split off from that to form another xyz, abc, etc. Because they kept on branching.

And it did seem to be often caused by anger.

i stumbled over this one: asd-forum.org.uk
