I am starting this group because I have a 7th grade boy (almost 13) with high functioning Aspergers. He does well in school but has trouble making friends. This group would meet for social interaction--play video games, pizza nights, movie nights, hiking--really anything that gets the kids together to share similar interests in a non-judgemental group. Looking for other parents with middle-school/early teen aspergers who are also having trouble making friends.
POCWSN = Parents of children with special needs I know many parents that are in need of support, even if it's just a shoulder to cry on. As a mom of a child with ASD and ADHD, I know the frustrations that arise on a daily basis. My goal is to find ways to support one another. I would like to establish play dates, coffee breaks, Parents night out and whatever any one else feels they need. I am not a doctor or therapist. I am just a mom looking for support and advice from other parents.
