Hello all,

Below is a message from Ian Schmidt, coordinator of the Autistic Self
Advocacy Network's New Jersey Social/Support Group. The Autistic Self
Advocacy Network is a grassroots, volunteer organization of people on the
autism spectrum working to provide opportunities for adults and youth on the
spectrum to interact with each other, advocate for increased representation
of the autistic self-advocate community in public policy and promote
autistic culture and neurodiversity.

Details on the time and location are below. The meeting is open to all
adults on the autism spectrum, including but not limited to Asperger's, NLD,
PDD-NOS and other autism spectrum neurologies. ASAN encourages family
members and other allies of the autistic community to contact us at
info@... if they are interested in being informed about
future meetings open to the general public. Please e-mail

Hi! Here's the info on our next meeting, barring any flashes of inspiration
or natural disasters :) Please pass it along to anyone you know who might
be interested.

ASAN's Jersey Social/Support Group is having its 3rd session on: Saturday,
January 12th 2008 @ 1:00
We'll be meeting at:
Van Gogh's Ear Cafe
1017 Stuyvesant Ave
Union, NJ 07083

Its a quirky and fairly quiet little cafe and we had a great time there at
the last meeting. One of the things we'd like to discuss at this next
meetup is the public perception of autism and ways we can change it; but the
we usually keep the conversation pretty free-form -- the most important
thing is that everyone has space to be themselves

If you'd like to come to the meeting, please RSVP to: IanS73@...
