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.
Christian Aspies of the DC, NOVA and Prince William County areas! I am a Christian and I have Asperger's. I know that there are others like me. I created this group so that people on the spectrum and their families can have a safe, accepting place to draw closer to God, study the Bible and learn what He can do in our lives.

As Fathers of special needs children, much of our time is spent busily supporting the family, going to or attentively finding out how doctor's appointments went, advocating for our kid(s), and simply doing our level headed best to keep it all above water.

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.
