Welcome, Chicago area Aspies & Spectrum Adults!

FORMERLY ADULTS WITH ASPERGER'S OF NORTHERN CHICAGOLAND/CHICAGO ASPERGERS ADULT NETWORK

Welcome to CASPAN, the Chicago Autism SPectrum Adult Network. We have several different groups around the Chicago suburban area.

Meet with local adults 18 and over affected by Asperger's, autism, PDD-NOS, and similar autistic spectrm and pervasive developmental disorders. We have people who are both formally diagnosed and self diagnosed. No formal diagnosis is necessary to join.

We currently have support groups that meet in Evanston, Barrington, Palos Hills, & Naperville.

The Evanston support and social groups are the official Chicago chapter of GRASP (Global Regional Asperger's Syndrome Partnership), a national organization of Aspies helping others on the spectrum. For info please visit http://www.grasp.org

In addition to the monthly support groups, we have a more casual social and activity group that periodically meets at various locations. We have additionally attended and tabled a number of area autism conferences as a group, including ASI, MAAP, Future Horizons and Autism One.

We are always looking for suggestions for future activites, discussion topics, and new groups.
