Are there any cities or states that are considered autism friendly , meaning there is a huge population of people on the spectrum living there?

I consider Portland, OR to be autism friendly. "Keep Portland weird." We have bike paths in the city and bus lines and trains. People are more polite, people don't go shoving and pushing each other to get on the train and stuff. There are also autism groups. I hear there are more than three but I can't find them online, only three and the others I found are more for parents of kids who have it or spouses of partners who have it. I love it here.

Nice. I live in a small town in central Wisconsin, and don't find it autism friendly at all. Bunch of stuck up rednecks over here who don't give a s**t about anyone but themselves.

Red Deer, Alberta.

lots of bike paths and walkways here I haven't found any groups, but the city itself seems very accessable and easy to navigate. There are buses and the drivers are polite and friendly. The college is great too.Although my instructors don't know about my AS, they seem to still like me well and treat me with respect despite my quirks.They say i am interesting and they have no issue with me since my grades are good.

Nice. My college doesn't know about my autism either, at least not yet.
