THIS IS ASPERGER FRIENDS SUPPORT GROUP
Social/Support Group forming for Young Adults with Asperger’s Syndrome
We are forming a group for Young 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 plan to
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 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
We would love to hear from you and have you be part of planning this new group.

Anthony Group
We – the Los Angeles Asperger’s Syndrome Parents’ Support Group –
are a group of parents, guardians, and care-givers interested in
helping our children, relatives, and others having Asperger's Syndrome (AS),
because of the way in which it affects them and our own lives. We also talk
about similar problems, such as high-functioning autism (HFA), Pervasive
Development Disorder-NOS, Non-Verbal Learning Disorder, Semantic-Pragmatic
Disorder, and Hyperlexia. [The psychological professions haven’t accepted the
categories of “nerd,” “dweeb,” and “geek,” but we discuss them, too. :-)]
We meet monthly (always on the second Wednesday of each month, from 7 to 9 p.m.
at the Julia Ann Singer center) to discuss these issues, either for general
discussions or discussions with invited experts. Please join us!
