AANE Adult Conference
by Lindsay
I went to AANE’s adult conference this weekend, the first of any such event for me. I have somewhat mixed thoughts on it, but there was one thing that struck me more than anything: everyone there was completely and utterly a genuinely good person. There was no laughing behind people’s backs, dirty looks, snide comments, etc. None of the usual things that seem to happen when a large group of people get together. I went to lunch with a group of people I had met only minutes before and, although they already knew each other, I was completely welcomed, never felt out of place and never felt like I was interrupting. Some people may consider people with AS to be thoughtless, that’s only because they’re not looking closely enough.
I can honestly say that I have never felt prouder to be associated with any group of people than I do with Aspies.
