    - The rules are interesting to note. "One rule is that we're not necessarily here to teach you -- you need to learn by reading and observation, not by peppering autistics with questions and expecting us to always take the time to answer. And as you might expect, derogatory comments and actions towards autistics, or otherwise breaking the rules, will get you banned."

    • Notecard dated 20 March 2008 -

      • April is National Autism Awareness month and I am dedicating the April show at Angel Dorei Museum to the experience of autism. There is no way to accurately describe what the autism experience is, as it is unique to every individual on the autism spectrum. But to get some idea, I urge you to visit the Autism Museum located on the sim of Porcupine.

        The exhibition will go up on the last day of March and the first day of April and will be on display for the month of April. At the end of April, there will be an auction of art..the proceeds of which will go to three sim groups here in second life that work towrd education, acceptance, understanding, support and technological assistance for members of the autism community - those groups are the Autism Liberation Front, the Dreams sim home of Brigadoon Explorers and the Heron

Autistic Liberation Front, Porcupine (47, 209, 108)

Thank you for your interest..please contact me if you would like to participate.
