Other than WP do you know of any other online communities for aspies/autistic people?

The only other one I know is http://www.asd-forum.org.uk which is a horrible forum, twice now I've attempted to post but people are so arsey and abusive to me, it seems to me that members there are not AS/ASD or intolerant towards the needs of people with AS/ASD as they seem to attack you for saying you struggle to do x, y, z due to AS/ASD and have no grasp as to the problems we might face. I find the place very upsetting and anti-AS/ASD if anything!

I'm frustrated, I've still yet to find local aspies, I've still yet to find anywhere online that can give UK-specific advice about things such as disabled rights, how to deal with prejudice, support or assistance, advice on benefits or employment, etc. Darn-it, seems like in the UK you have no where to go to get any support or advice, and people are determined to drag you down rather than allow you to pick yourself up.

The National Autistic Society is a good source of information.

They also have their own forum, which I've thought about joining: http://community.autism.org.uk/

Try aspergernauts (dot) co (uk). I found this site a few months ago.

Seems ok but the forum is fairly quiet.

Forgot about that one, although it's still quite quiet on there.

Not limited to the UK, though I do live here, but I write a blog targeting adults on the spectrum and welcome guest contributions.
