For aspies by aspiesThe Optimised Aspie The Optimised Aspie group was started by an ASCape member a few years ago based on needs seen within the group. Aspies share practical optimisation strategies.

ContactAsk me, I'm autisticStarted by an ASCape member, this Facebook group answers questions about autism. The group also has some non-speaking autistic members. ContactWrongPlanet.netWith thousands of members worldwide, WrongPlanet.net provides a means for aspies to share their thoughts and feelings and to get advice from one another via the Internet.
