101
I was invited to join the Brigadoon project after expressing an interest in the project to John, our fearless leader. I am very interested in autism and at times have felt completely consumed by it being the parent of a child on the spectrum, and feeling like I also could be on the spectrum.
When I came to Brigadoon I was anxious to explore to find out what this new concept in support would be, and I was amazed by what I found here. Nothing had prepared me for a second virtual life like I have at Brigadoon. The support I get here is different, it’s intimate, and very hands on. Any one can join SL and exist in it, but being able to come to our private place at Brigadoon has been like having a safe haven, an escape, and another family.
Sometimes I go to SL and Brigadoon just to explore because there are just so many astounding and beautiful places to see. Things can change daily and there is so much creativity it’s inspiring. I particularly enjoy meeting new people, and spending time with the friends I have met there.

What a great field to be exploring...looking at how art and virtual worlds together can provide therapy. Simply amazing. I've always felt that virtual worlds are not only a new form of online community but also a totally novel means of artistic expression. In virtual worlds like SL, you can make your avatar look however you like (exploring the representation of one's "self" as artistic expression) and create stunning works of art involving virtual objects, geometry and animations that you simply cannot do in the physical world.
I can't wait to see what new ideas you have along these lines in the future. :)
