A kibbutz in Israel for people with, among other things, HFA/AS.
Link:
An organic utopia for the mentally challenged in Israel

(edit by lau - I replaced the "^" character with a "%5E", which made the link happier - I also wrapped it up, to reduce the line length)

I'm not crazy about the way the article is written, (a bit condescending)
but the idea of a place like that is interesting.
I want to look it up and find out more, but it's already past my bedtime.

I found that link in another Aspie forum

Interesting , I would be interested if this was purely aS / related stuff however "mentally challenged" not for me thank you.
AS does not make me mentally challenged or comfortable around people who say can't talk quite right.
