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
