The purpose of this group is to bring together parents of Asperger's children living in or close to Westchester County.

By pulling together, perhaps we can begin to exert a positive influence on the way our children are viewed and educated.

I set this group up because I want to discuss issues and solutions around how diet and nutrition can impact and improve the wellness of children with special needs. Do you know a child with allergies, anxiety, stomachaches, a picky eater, ASD, ADHD, PDD-NOS, quirky etc. It can be challenging to teach children about healthy eating -- especially if the child is very picky and/or resistant to new foods.  If you are a parent, a service provider, a grandparent, or a person living with special needs y …

I started this group to provide a place where NT partners/spouses could meet and support each other. The meetings are not intended to be therapy sessions, but more along the lines of supporting each other since many of our friends and family members do not understand our unique relationships with our Aspie spouses/partners. Some of the meet-ups will have particular topics to discuss, some will be fun events to play and afford us a stress-free time and others will be informal with discussions bei …

This is a group for parents, siblings and professionals catering to the complex world of autism! I started this group as a mother to a daughter with severe Autism and Founder of Hope 4 Autism, Inc.

We offer support, fun and friendship for adults/young adults with Asperger's Syndrome. We're still new, but there are plans to implement face to face activities, movies, games, food, etc.

The goal of this Meetup group is to allow children (11-16 yrs of age) with Aspergers and/or ADHD to meet, and play in a non judgmental, semi supervised environment. Ideally, groups would be kept at small numbers (for the benefit of the child) where parents would rotate hosting events in their home. This is not a parents support group. This is solely an opportunity for children to intermingle with other children who are also dealing with similar social challenges.

Note: This group is ONLY for parents, guardians and family members of teens ages 15 - 17 with Aspergers Syndrome or High functioning Autism. I am hoping this group grows quickly because our young teens with Asperger's are very bright young people in need of making friends that can relate with them. Most teens with Asperger's have excellent academic records but that's not enough. So let's get them together for fun activities at least once a month they deserve it they work hard in school and have …

Greetings- This is a group primarily to provide opportunities for ASD-PDD kids (and their parents/ caregivers) to interact with peers. My observations and experience is that there are plenty of groups on LI for people to talk about things. This will be a forum for kids to hopefully interact with other kids, and parents/ caregivers can align to create play groups, support networks, idea/ method exchange, etc. The idea for this group came about as I have a 7 y.o. ASD-PDD grandson who lost his Dad, …

Do you know an adult with autism or asperger's who *also* has musical talent or ambition? Let's jam! We're trying to gather a group (4~5) of "like-minded" musicians who want to sharpen their playing skills. So far we have a drummer and a keyboardist...looking for complementary instruments to make a complete band.
