“ To have fun and forget about being asperger's ”

— Joseph Carrillo on Mar 17, 2009.

“ I think it is a great way to meet others and create a voice for those who have Aspergers. I sense that as time passes, and we get to know each other, we can effect real change in how people who have Aspergers are treated in the schools and in the workplace. ”

“ As a member of the adult group here, I've been around for a while, though I haven't been around to see every meetup possible with the aspergers adult group. The people are fun and talkative, there's always discussion to be had. The venues are a bit repetative, but it's really the people you go to see about in my mind. And in general adult groups on the subject of aspergers are hard to come by, so I'm glad that there is at least one out there to go to. Although events for the adults with aspergers don't often happen as much as the youth groups do, they are still worth the while to check out and meet the people who come. ”

“ The group totes that it is not a "parent support group" but a social group for the kids. I am not sure exactly what socializing they did. I was appalled by the sword play and don't think that Tag gave them any sense of a three step directive. None of them listened to the rules with ONE person in supposed control of the game. Soccer went more according to plan but I still don't see how the kids were socializing while stealing the ball from each other trying to be the superstar and goal. We should poll their individual obsessive interests prior to meeting and see if we can organize social activities that target their interests rather than activities that send them into sensory overload. My son did more "socializing" under a tree prior to the meeting with one child about Pokemon than the rest of the whole day. ”

“ Needs more constructive activities ”

“ From things people shared during introductions, it might be nice to ask members what their greatest challenge or difficulty is, then see if other members have ideas that can help, have worked for them, or who may want to be a personal contact to help along the way (in between meetings). Just a thought. :-) ”
