First I just want to thank you all for the support, watches and shouts. I may not always respond to shouts, but I always read them! If you wish to show extra support for this group, you can put the icon in your profile by typing : iconaspie_furs : (without the spaces) into it.

So I have an idea for a contest, but I want you guys to tell me if it's a good idea or not. This is the deal: Participants must create a piece that reflects on how aspergers syndrome affects their lives.

Here are the rules:
-You must be a watcher in this group to participate.
-The submission must be clean.
-It can be digital, traditional, lineart or photography. Nothing else.
-The submissions will be judged by me.
-They will be mostly judged by their creativity and emotional impact.
-Submit the piece to your gallery, then post a link to it in the shout box.
-Please do not complain if yours doesn't win.
-There will be a first place, a second place, and an honorable mention. First place gets a free lineart commission from me, englandpunk (owner of the group), second place gets two watches (one from me and one from this group) and the honorable mention gets an...honorable mention. •_•

There is no known cause of aspergers syndrome, but some doctors think it is linked to vaccination.

The symptoms of aspergers:
-Impaired social skills
-Impaired empathy skills
-Trouble with eye contact
-Trouble making friends (this is especially evident in kids with aspergers)
-Desire for sameness in routines
-Trouble understanding others emotions
-High intelligence levels
-Sensitivity to light/sound/colors.
-Can become abnormally attached to an object/toy.
-Can have a very good memory
-Can sometimes say insensitive/inappropriate things.

If you have aspergers, I'm not saying you have all I these symptoms. I know it's different with everyone.
