Asperger-M
This online group is open to all persons diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome, Autism, or other developmental disorders of similar nature. We also welcome anyone with any contact with such individuals (aspies or auties, as we call ourselves), or anyone who has questions or wants to learn more about us. We are a very supportive group of adult aspies and parents of aspies (mostly) who share our problems, goals, idiosyncrasies, and successes with each other, and ask for help and suggestions as needed. There is often lively discussion about ideas, especially as they pertain to Autism in general, as well as other topics of interest to us.
Caregivers Forum
I have been a caregiver for a paralyzed wife for three years. I would like to share my caregiving experiences and learn what other Mensans have done.
Depression Support Group
Bright_&_Blue is a mutual support group for Mensans who are living with
depression or whose lives depression touches. We discuss how depression
affects our lives, and what we are doing to help ourselves. B&B is also a
place to discuss the research and theory of all related conditions.

Exceptionally Gifted SIG
The purposes of EPGS are several: 1. To provide a "meeting place" for members to share and explore experiences, ideas and concerns that are considered as somewhat unique to the Exceptionally & Profoundly Gifted; 2. To find ways to support programs and research for Exceptionally & Profoundly Gifted children and youth; 3. To develop plans and activities that are supportive of intelligence research for the Exceptionally and Profoundly Gifted.
