This is especially helpful to those in the New England Area. It's a local group based on helping those with conditions on the Autism Spectrum live the best lives possible. It's got a lot of articles and stuff, and info about meetings, etc.

Thanks for posting this link, I went to the site and found especially the archived newsletters useful.

As a college student who is a "Not Sure if I Have It" with regards to AS (I have a lot of the traits--especially as a kid, but have had social milestones throughout college which fly in the face of AS), I found one article particularly relevant, and wanted to point it out to other young adults (and older adults) who are wondering if they have AS or not:

They mention a lot of the cases of "He can't have AS, he..."...which is a big factor in my life right now, and is really relevant.

Once again, thanks for posting the link!
