The Autism Gathering Place of Southwest Florida

Fort Myers, FL

We are people who are now called, High Functioning Autism, formerly called Asperger's Syndrome. Just think of the main characters on "The Big Bang Theory" except for Penny and you pretty much see what we are like. We are gathering here together in a safe and judgment-free environment. We are here to make friend and to create some joy and fun in this big mess and choas called - Life.

We are called by Dr Temple Grandin, while talking about the making of a movie, "Aspies." She was talking about how there were, "Aspies all over the place." Here we plan to create a group where people can gather "Aspies FOR Aspies."

Our group is rare, best to our knowledge because wer are "Run by Aspies FOR Aspies." In many ways it is our motto. Sadly, the term Aspies and Asperger's Syndrome has been removed from diagnosis materials but it is still part of our history and explains - to many of us - who we are.

In this age of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) we are meeting online. So we may be closed in, but we are not closed off. We are here to meet new people, make friends, and stand by and for one another. X-Men: First Class had a quote I found empowering - Mutant and Proud. So let's not let this virus that is destroying the economy and a few business destroy us. We are here and we can get through this and we can create a new world for ourselves.

Remember, Autistic and Proud!

The Fort Myers Area Kayaking Group

Fort Myers, FL

Feb 4: We are still "on hold" due to water pollution from Ian and red tide. -- Jeff There are many great places to get out on the water in our area - streams, rivers, lakes, secluded coves, canals, lakes, bays, sounds and the Gulf. In many places the water is shallow and not easily accessible with motor boats but ideally in a kayak. Many enjoy getting away from a hectic lifestyle and relaxing on the water at a slower pace. This is a major benefit of kayaking. But kayaks have other benefits too. They allow us to observe the sub-tropical flora and fauna of the aquatic environment up close without destroying it. Except for the gas needed to get to the launch site, kayakers do not pollute our environment and save a lot of money compared to owners of larger sail or power boats. New kayaks are available for as little as $250. But you can pay $2,000 if you'd like something special. People without kayaks are also welcome. Many of our outings start at locations with kayak rentals or you can pick one up along the way. Our outings are suitable for kayakers of all levels. So, come join us, make new friends, and bring some friends with you. Besides the outings planned by our organizers, all members can now post events. We do not screen these persons nor have we checked out their kayaking abilities. Regardless of who organizes and posts an event, when you take part you alone are responsible for your safety. Kayaking can be dangerous. Become aware of the dangers of wind, waves, currents, wakes from big boats, sun and heat. Make sure you have a personal flotation device with you. A whistle and flares are good in case you need to get attention to get help. Take food, water and sun block. Be ready to turn back if you no longer feel comfortable in a situation. No other person knows better what your limits are than you. Realize that risk can not be eliminated totally. Storms with strong winds, big waves and driving rain can develop quickly. Pay attention to changes in the weather and head for shore where you can wait safely until it has passed. Being out a long way from shore is risky because kayaks can not travel quick enough to get to shore when a storm develops. For that reason it is always safest to paddle fairly close to shore so that it can be reached in just a couple minutes if necessary. Kayaking is fun. Kayaking with others can be even more fun. Come get involved and take part. But always remember: You are responsible for yourself. Know your limitations, paddle at your own risk. See you on the water :-) Other local kayaking Meetup groups you may be interested in include: [Gulf Coast Kayak](https://www.meetup.com/GulfCoastkayak/) [Calusa Sea Kayakers](https://www.meetup.com/calusa-sea-kayakers-meetup-group/) [Ocean Tribe Paddlers](https://www.meetup.com/Ocean-Tribe-Paddlers/) [Kayak Club of Greater Charlotte Harbor](https://www.meetup.com/Kayak-Club-Outings-Events-for-Greater-Charlotte-Harbor/) [Naples, Marco Island Paradise Coast Paddlers Club](https://www.meetup.com/Naples-Marco-Island-Paradise-Coast-Paddlers-Club/)
