Asperger East Anglia Social Group <Aspies-R-us>
"Anything you say can and will be taken literally LOL"


This page is for those in the East Anglia region who have Aspergers Syndrome. How ever many people with AS outside East Anglia don’t have a social group or charity that may cater for their needs, so in order to bring more Aspies together, make new friends and share experiences I have created this page for you to join in with us.

Please visit the Asperger East Anglia website and read more about what we do, but unfortunately Asperger East Anglia is unable to provide help outside the East Anglia region, However members of the Social group you will probably meet on this page will no doubt offer you their own experiences, help and friendship.

www.asperger.org.uk/

This is a friendly site so please respect each others comments and opinions, however offensive comments and/or material will be removed… It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice!

If you have any comments and you are not on Bebo Please email me at smallgraybox@hotmail.co.uk

Colin.

  • Valley Of The Mind's Eye - Thomas Dolby

    Ma chere Josephine,
    (My dearest Josephine,)

    Que le monde a change depuis ma derniere lettre.
    (How the world has changed since last I wrote.)

    Ainsi ce soir je prends ma plume,
    (So tonight I take up my pen,)

    non pas pour m emerveiller
    (not to marvel)

    sur l epoque ou nous vivons,
    (at these wondrous times,)

    mais pour declarer l'amour
    (but to declare the love)

    qui est dans mon coeur.
    (that is in my heart.)

    If a song was a road
    I would ride through the night to you
    there's a moon on the rise
    and I m drawn on the tide to you.
    And I will be with you
    and I will stay with you
    and I will dream with you
    if you need me to
    anytime, anywhere
    in a corner of your mind's eye

    Planets will cool, Josie
    tyrants will rule, Josie
    I will be here for you
    oceans divide, Josie
    stars will collide, Josie
    nations will rise and fall
    and never see the world through these eyes.

    Dreams of falling - dreams of flying.
    a man who never dreams goes slowly mad.
    The dawn of science, the age of reason.
    This is the voyage of the mind's eye.

    And I will be with you
    I will stay with you
    and I will dream with you
    if you need me to
    anytime, anywhere
    in a corner of your mind's eye.
    in a corner of your mind's eye.

    Hi, I am newly diagnosed with Asperger's at the age of 34. I am interested in the Thursday Group in Norwich but am very nervous about going for the first time and wondered what you get up to, etc. I am keen to learn more about Asperger's and how others cope with it.

    Hope it's okay to ask this here!

    GOAL Group:

    As far as I can tell since Paula Stone left Asperger East Anglia the GOAL group lost cohesion.

    But Me David, Simon, John and Varin have our own GOAD group where we get each other out going places and doing thing.

    It’s not run by anyone or have no leader, we decided on a shared basis and try to fit everyone’s needs with in the one day. If this isn't possible that persons plan becomes the first in the next meeting.

    The next Adult group is 20th of September. I've started a craz of who cam make the craziest GeoMag Sculpture, come along and see what we get upto.

    Hope to see you there

    Hi Brook D, Sorry I didn’t' get back to you sooner, you page seems to be blocked to me but welcome to the Asperger East Anglia social group page.

    it is a spin off from the official Asperger East Anglia’s Thursday social group, but you very welcome to leave comments, experiences, funny moments or share those embarrassing aspie moments.

    Because of you age I can not directly send comments to you page, but that ok.. just pop in on this page and leave comments and read others. Some members are from the official social group I go to, others are from far and wide

    Hullo Everybody

    Have been very busy in the last couple of weeks. I did not get that Finance Assistant job at the local school, but Hey! who cares! Think they already had someone lined up for the job before they published the advert. In any case, it is their loss because they have overlooked a very dedicated good worker.

    You may like to try the following link to Aspie Village, a site regulated by a friend of mine, Deano. They are excellent people to chat to, and have some helpful ideas on coping strategies.
