Social/Support Group forming for Adults with Asperger’s Syndrome

Asperger syndrome group for Adults, ages 18 and up who have Asperger’s Syndrome. Other young people with high-functioning autism, or PDD may also be comfortable in our group. The main purpose of the group will be socializing. We meet once a month for a support-type group, where we will get to know one another and talk about the challenges of our jobs or college classes, learning to deal with co-workers, and finding friends when school is over. We would also like to meet one other night each month to go to a movie, out to dinner, bowling or any other activities that the group members are interested in. We have tentatively arranged to meet at Healthquest in Flemington. We have reserved a room for late Sunday afternoons. We would meet for two hours from 3:00 to 5:00 pm. Parents would be welcome to meet with one another at the same time. The group will have a facilitator, someone who can help us with the tasks of running a meeting. If you or someone you know would be interested in joining our group, please contact Matt at info@aspergerfriends.com

1. college students with aspergers This club is for college studens who have Asperger's syndrome or high-functioning autism to meet and counsel one another. A second, equally important, purpose is to serve younger people who have plans for college. Thirdly, relatives, spouses, and instructors of Asperger's/HF autism sufferers can use the other members as a resource for helping their loved ones or students overcome their unique obstacles and (finally?) achieve to a level commensurate with their ability and effort.

2. Asperger Adults This group is for adults with Asperger's Syndrome. It is a place to share information and experience and get some support too.

3.Aspergers Singles One of the deepest problems of adults with Asperger's Syndrome is the search for meaningful relationships, and, ultimately, a loving partnership with another adult to share life with. This is a forum to discuss any subject that might have relevance to this issue, be it the pros and cons of both being single and finding a partner. Even finding and keeping friends is a related subject. Those who are most open to expessing their ideas, emotions, and personal experiences in this realm will benefit most on this list. Others with involement in any part of the Autistic Spectrum are welcome to join.

4.Adult_Support_Group · Tallahassee Area Autism Asperger Adults This is the online connection for participants in the adult support group in Tallahassee, Florida. It is open to all adults in the Tallahassee/ North Florida area (and perhaps even adjoining parts of southern Georgia) with autism spectrum disorders.

5. Women with Asperger Syndrome Asperger Syndrome appears to be a male dominated condition, and there is very little information & guidance available to women dealing with our unique challenges. I would like to invite all WOMEN WITH ASPERGER SYNDROME to join, and support each other in learning how to recognize those aspects of our lives affected by the disorder, and assist each other in developing coping strategies. This is a moderated board, and accepts only adult females who have AS. If the medical profession is not able/willing to address the differences between male and female manifestations of this condition, it is up to us to be there for each other. I hope you'll join me.
