(NC) April 14 - AspieCon (Charlotte)

[werdboync]

Event Details/Description:
AspieCon is everything you love about comic book and pop culture conventions, combined with the best aspects of a community resource fair. It celebrates the incredibly diverse interests of individuals on the autism spectrum while also providing valuable resources and support for our awesome Aspies and Auties, their families, and their friends. This interactive, “out of the box” event is dedicated to building a strong community and empowering individuals on the autism spectrum.

Our attendees and organizers are huge Star Wars fans, and our psychology office is themed to match! We would be delighted and honored (and a little geeked-out) to host members of the Carolina Garrison at our event!
Referred by: I am an active charity cosplayer in the Charlotte area (and a member of the Heroes Alliance), and have several friends in the Carolina Garrison who troop. Cheralyn Lambeth directed me to this page for this event appearance request.
