(30,736 posts)I enjoy my membership, too. I am getting ready to attend HalloweeM 39. It is a very large AG, hosted by the Chicago Area Mensans. (You may know that already). I am looking forward to the costume party, and to the book sale.
Yes, there are Aspies. I have always been impressed by how well accepted they are. And there are political nuts, too. We have one in our subgroup. I do not allow him to drive me crazy.
The Chicago Area chapter has an active group for gifted children. I do not attend those gatherings, but they look like fun.
The Democratic candidate in my Congressional district is a Mensan. Our area is very red, and it is likely that he will lose. But I am glad the tea bagger incumbent has an opponent who will give him a run for his money.
