This is actually my affectionate term for my group of aspie friends.
Over the years i have accumilated a number of friends with Aspergers.
From Primary school I have 1 aspie friend, High school another and Uni another, and outside Uni another.
I affectionatly call these people my aspie brat pack and they all see me as an aspie too.

Does anyone else have a friendship group like that and/or have an affectionate name to sum them up with?

All of my aspie friends are kind of seperated from each other, as aspies tend to fall out pretty quickly. Can't think why. :lol:

Unfortunately I have no such group of friends, but a few of my acquaintances have had Asperger's. I try to socialize with NT people as much as possible so I can become more NT myself, not just in my behaviour but in my way of thinking. Of course, I'll still pursue all of my Aspie traits, but I find many NT pursuits very enjoyable too. :)

When my son's friends get together I call them "The Mild Bunch."
