so, here's the story, and i will keep him and his specific personal info anonymous.
He lives quite far off from me so we have to use online face to face communication, which is kinda unfortunate, but is also a good opportunity for me to not only to get help from others on whether anything i ever suggest for him is correct but to get a community started on how to help aspies deal with the NT dilemma constantly a problem in colleges or high schools where cliques are formed, class interactivity is awkward and such (if you'll pardon that ridiculous long sentence).

anyhow. it all started with him saying he was constantly being avoided by his peers, i.e. them purposely not wanting to sit in the same seat with him every day in a way that they were interested, and a day where he asked a girl to join him in a study group, which was then answered in a way that was pretending that he was ghostly. Unimportant. Not having said anything in the first place. I mean, this must be common, as much as it's disappointing, for a lot of people in the autism spectrum, aspies, etc, to feel even let down by mere situations as these.
It really made me think: what if there were more friendly people, somewhere, SOMEHOW, anywhere on campus he could even make his own community with, even if it weren't through asking generally for a study group or to do educational stuff right away.
Just getting to know people who had something of a common interest or did something often, like doing a lot of writing in a certain class, like my guy friend did. This is a great way to form a community, whether it's with aspies, NTs, both, and create a happier, possibly totally amazing community where ideas click, even possible job networking is made. ANYTHING'S possible.

well, this is about the time i gotta catch some Zz's but while i get a chance before i get out of here i wanted to ask a few people to get in on my advice and join my blog under their own anonymous membership names, sharing interesting somewhat anonymous but successful videos, stories, any photos or a simple message beyond any threads on here from what they've discovered in the process of living as an aspie or anyone on the autism spectrum.
since i don't neccessarily want to spam on this site, i'll just say that my Tumblr username is pretty much the same, it's *rainbow wren* and if you don't come across it succssfully I have it on my home page on here.
Feel free to join, add your advice or how you feel about what I said, whatev.

I'll be on here to follow up on the thread, but more than anything I hope people are excited to become a part of this movement to become socially comfortable as an aspie or autism spectrum, or anything relative, person.
If you're with it, follow my lead!
