Meet with local people affected by Asperger's Disorder (Asperger Syndrome) for support and discussion.
If you are a teen with AS, you know how difficult it can be to find friends who share your interests and accept your unique qualities. If your a parent of an Aspie teen, like I am, you may be frustrated with seeing your bright and imaginative teenager glued to the computer.
