Leith McMurray & Gabrielle Hogg - Aspies and the Social Media

Gabrielle is a young 20-something High-Functioning Autie and Leith is an Aspie “granny”. They live in different islands of New Zealand. Both make regular use of Facebook and e-mail to keep in touch with each other and with other aspies who are widely dispersed up and down this long, narrow nation. The Internet has revolutionised the Aspie sense of isolation and inability to communicate with others who understand what it is to be on the Autism Spectrum. Each will speak from their perspective and then take questions from the audience.
