OMG! Ken! As I recall that is pretty much what you said to me about an an autistic gathering 6 months ago or so. And you know what came of that [ friends, possibly for life]

Anyway, when are more details coming so that people can start making serious plans.? I am not able to attend for health reasons, but I sure would enjoy reading about others who are planning to attend.

I am glad about this. Many autistics find friends for life in autistic gatherings. Some even find love for life, such as my friends Paul and Elizabeth, who had met each other at an autistic gathering:

How about "Target!" For bullies, maybe subtle ones too.
Sad reality here these days.

Are you referring to bullies here on WP or people in the NT world? Either way, at the retreat I doubt that anyone will feel like a target. I think that many who have been bullied will find a bit of healing of their lowered self-esteem [from having been bullied so long] Rather than 'Target," a better name might be "acceptance," And Buttercup,that feels so good.
