An Aspy Bar

[Oregon Becky]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not really a bar. I don't think many aspies hang out at bars much.

A place for aspies, their version of a bar. Here's what we're working on.
A retail place in the day, a role playing gaming place at night, anime' movies at night.
The store sells the kind of stuff that the gamers use and sells sci-fi books and has refreshments.
The games are like Magic the Gathering, Pokemon and Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.
There is a section for painting and decorating gaming figures.

Aspies are exactly the kinds of people this place would hire because a good number of them make good dungeon masters. On the retail side, I'd have to be careful. I could easily see my son complete a transaction but forget to take the money.

A lot of aspy males are drawn to gaming. A lot of aspy females bond around anime' and decorating gaming figures like ancient multi hued dragons.  So that's the plan, in a nutshell.

I see gaming and animation as an emerging art form. Digital is taking over. I do not know how a cross between a video game arcade and an arts center would work. Fast, lots of moving parts, noise, I would run.

The anime' and card gaming, not electonic games are two of the few activities that bring young people on the autism spectrum together. It's a generational thing, I guess. But they're out there and needing places to hang out that make them feel like they belong.

Inventor, your description of a cross between an arcade and an art center aptly describes it.

Is that like SimCity?
