This just made me LOL. Even more so because it's about 20 miles down the road from where I live.

I wish I could buy it lol But then if I did, I would rename it to Spongebobia or something like that and the residents of nearby towns might get enraged.

We all need to chip in and buy it, then rename it Aspergia, the Aspie Refuge. :lol: Aspies who can't handle living in the outside world could go there and be among their own.

It's in Wyoming so it's in the middle of nowhere. Perfect for us.

Inventor wants to do a aspie comunity, some discussed it in Autism Advocacy section, but soon as he started talking money and work, the topic went dead. He is still interested in putting this together, if anyone is serious about it, pm Inventor.

Well, it was kind of a joke, but hell if he really wants to. The starting bid is about $100,000, which considering what you're getting real-estate wise is pretty damn cheap. I could probably proxy for him during the auction, I live about 50 or so miles from the place. The article lists the property that's included as part of the deal; general store, gas station, P.O. Boxes, etc. It wouldn't be much but it'd be fun.
