Brigadoon

From Sl Wiki

Brigadoon

A Second Life community to support people with Aspergers Syndrome.

The Brigadoon Blog includes background information about Brigadoon, although it appears that the blog has been dormant since about April 2006.

The concept of Brigadoon is that it provides a safe place for people with Asperger's Syndrome to meet and interact with one another on-line. The benefit of Second Life is that the AS sufferer has difficulty in reading visual and other non-verbal clues during interaction with others. Within SL, avatars don't have the richness of expression and gesture found in Real Life, and so there are fewer distractions to worry about.
