My own child has Asperger's, and I am interested in starting something which will benefit her as well as other children in our area who have Asperger's. This group is specifically for higher cognitive functioning children who have written or verbal communication problems. Sign up if you are interested.

The purpose of the group is to provide support for parents whose kids have multiple needs and many acronyms (PDD, ADHD, NVLD, SID, ASD, CAP disorders, etc.!)

Parenting AS affects men in a unique way, and Aspie kids need male presence that meets their needs too.
