Introduction
My name is Ronald Gibson and I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome in 2004 at the age of 22. When I was three people who had never heard of Hans Asperger said I functioned too well to be autistic. That's because they didn't know autism.
Are you a person with an autism spectrum disorder?
Yes
Do you have an interest in advocating for people with a disability?
Yes I do. I always have, even before I was diagnosed, although I'd like to point out I believe this is nothing more than a social disibility. It does not impair me from anything other than conforming to social norms and fitting in with society.
Do you have experience in advocating for yourself as a person with a disability, or on behalf of someone with a disability?
Yes I have always advocated for anyone who was noticibly different whether it was a disability or any other minority, and I've had to stand up for myself my entire life as well.
This is an action, not a discussion, group. Are you willing to take active steps to speak up for the rights of individuals on the autism spectrum?
I'm willing to do whatever it takes. Of course we have to recognize it isn't just our rights that are in jeaopardy here. This government is taking everyone's rights and we may not be able to secure our own rights without also fighting for others.

Hey Ronald. I do like two player games. However, the ones I have played include Battle Cry, C&C Napoleonics, A&A. Go to Games Depot in Tempe to play.

Hi, Ron,
Re: the Banned Books discussion group:
I appreciate your suggestions. I prefer discussing them at the meeting rather than on line. Although I have been working with computers nearly half a century, I still prefer actual talking.
I think I have read all the books you proposed, except the Stephen King. "Misery" was enough for me.

Welcome Ronald :)

Two great minds think alike because I was in the process of writing you a message saying that we can add each other on facebook. Even though I have a good group of friends right now I am still looking for more. Besides that I think that we understand each other. The friends's request on facebook didn't go through.

Hey Ronald, welcome to the group! We've got a lot of events, so feel free to take your pick =) If you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to get ahold of us. Hope to see you soon!

DEC is on Washington between Priest and 44th St. On light rail, but no stop within 1/2 mile or more. You'll need to take the Washington bus from the Priest or 44th St stop.

Check out the John Birch Society in West Mesa. A man named Jim Pinkerman I believe is from that area. Great Patriot, I'm sure he would have many leads. If you're not familiar with the Birchers, check them out. :-)

Ronald, welcome! The next real meetup for you here isn't until May 7th. See ya there!
