I'm not on the forums much, but I wanted input.

What if we all put a scrapbook together of people with Autism and Aspergers. Like, real life stories, and autobiographies. And host them online for people to see and add. I can setup the logistics, but I want peoples input first. It might give people insight of what a average day is for people with Autism/Aspergers.

Thanks,
ccallahan

Go for it.

Would this be on WP or another website?

Would the authors be required to reveal their identities?

I would put this on another website, but hopefully, I can get Alex to link it somewhere. And you can remain anonymous, use a nickname, or use your first name, last initial.

The way I was going to do it, was I was going to rent a VPS with a high bandwidth cap, install a rendering engine that I use on my personal website called werc (http://werc.cat-v.org/) that takes text files formatted in markdown and converts the to HTML-compliant web pages. Then, I was going to have people link there stories on another thread so I can upload them.

While I'm pretty much for the idea, this question would be the deciding factor on whether or not I participate.
