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