This is the homepage for the
Asperger's
Support Group
in Mt. Vernon, Ohio. Below
you may choose your state.
If you
know of a support group not listed please
contact
me .
I started
a Parent Support Group in Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
With
the help from our Psychologist.
We did
not have a support group in our small
community.
I asked the Doctor if he would facilitate
for me
to find interested parents.
It has
turned out to be fun and interesting.
Mostly
we sit and talk about any problems we are having.
Sometimes
we will have a guest speaker
on a
subject related to Asperger's.
Through
my readings, I have learned that Asperger's
usually
afflicts boys.
The group
consists of about twelve couples.
In the
whole group, my husband and I are the only parents
with
a girl that has Asperger's.
The children
range from age 10 to age 17.
That
is nice because you can get a feel
for what
is to come with age.
My daughter
is 12.
The oldest
in the group is trying to get his driver license.
This
was interesting and the parents
have
a good sense of humor.
This
made the story funny as well.
If you
are in the area and would like to attend
some
of the meetings
please
e-mail me at the link below.
Thank you for your interest in the group.
The parent
contacts for each state gave me
permission
to publish their name on the WWW.
These
parents were kind enough to offer support
to anyone
who is in need. I included parents in
an effort
to bring together a few people who may
have
never met otherwise. If you are a parent of
a child
with AS, PDD, or Autism e-mail me.
I would
be glad to add you to the parent contacts.
