I can make a part of this board private for discussions about making inventions evolve. This might be a start. Are you the one who lives in southern Oregon? I'm up near Portland but we could arrange a meeting. I go to Salem once a month for dinner with some cool autism involved people. We compare notes and try to help each other move forward. It's the only kind of socialization I like. Friendship with agendas to build on ideas and do projects.

Northerly, Do you know the Joy Dog people? I heard they are the best place to find a service dog which I am looking into. I missed their last meeting in Salem. I would like a members only discussion.

I'll get back to work on this board for a private space.

As for service dogs-- I have a friend whose son has seizures. She brought home a dog from the pound. In time, the dog alerted on his own that her son was about to have seizures. Since my daughter has seizures, this made me look into getting a breed I would like. I saw a web site for service dogs,training golden retrievers for autism. Then I bought a book about hearing ear dogs.

I was very surprised when the hearing ear book said that among the worst breeds for the hearing ear would be the seeing eye dogs of choice-- the golden retrievers and labradors. The book said that those two breeds are very well behaved so that they can go to crowded spaces without upsetting other people. However, the book said that they are too well behaved and won't insist on solving new problems on their own when something unusual comes up. The book liked spaniels best, in general.

I finally got a dog for her, a German shepard/Australian shepherd puppy. The puppy peed and pooped everywhere and did bad puppy things. She loved it. I think she felt good to see that someone else in our household screwed up more than she did. It's been good for her but she doesn't love the dog. The only canine she ever loved was an arctic wolf/German shepherd we had. He was huge, so soft and would never act instantly friendly like a dog. He'd wait politely to be invited to socialize. I think his temperament was a lot like hers.

Maybe I should use Writer's Corner to explain my idea or an email? or meet someday?
Thought about service dogs for profit/grant once we have a community to socialize they to autistic culture.

You could email me and/or we could meet. I'll work on making a private space on this board in the next few days. If we're working on writing books we wouldn't want just anyone poking around and reading our work in progress.
