Please note: This group is for the neurotypical partner of Aspies. We are not an Aspie group.  If you are looking for an Aspie group, please contact GRASP (grasp.org). They run several Aspie groups in the city. I started this group because I was looking for support for partners and/or spouses of Aspies and found none. There are services and groups for Aspies and parents but, none for adult partners. So, here I am, starting this group hoping to meet others in the NYC and NJ areas who face the s …

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.

The Westchester Autism and Asperger's Group (TWAAAG) is available as a support group and education and resource center for all parents, families, relatives, friends, caregivers, professionals and most importantly, for people who live with Autism or Asperger's in Westchester County, New York and surrounding areas.

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 …

The purpose of this group is to bring together parents of Asperger's children living in or close to Westchester County. We all have valuable experiences and knowledge to bring to the table and can learn from and support one another. By pulling together, perhaps we can begin to exert a positive influence on the way our children are viewed and educated. This group is open to all parents of Asperger's children living in or near Westchester NY If you are exhausted, exasperated and at your wits end …

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.

As a psychotherapist and parenting coach for children and teens with Aspergers, I've noticed that there aren't enough ways for parents to connect with one another, and get the expert support they need. The purpose of this group is to empower parents of children with Aspergers, NVLD and other Executive Functioning concerns to get the support they need, a community of like minded parents, and the guidance of an expert. If you are interested in connecting with other parents, guidance in the CSE pro …

ASDASD

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, …
