Los Angeles Asperger Syndrome Parents’ Support Group.
The Los Angeles Asperger’s Syndrome Parents’ Support Group – are a group of parents, relatives, guardians, and care-givers interested in helping our children, relatives, and others having Asperger’s Syndrome (AS), because of the way in which it affects our children and our own lives. They also talk about similar problems, such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), high-functioning autism (HFA), Pervasive Development Disorder-NOS, Non-Verbal Learning Disorder, Semantic-Pragmatic Disorder, and Hyperlexia. [Despite constant, insistent, and unwelcome lobbying and nagging, the DSM honchos and honchas haven’t accepted the categories of “nerd,” “dweeb,” “wonk,” and “geek,” but they discuss them, too.]
They meet monthly to discuss these issues, either for general discussions or discussions with invited experts. It’s always on the second Wednesday of each month, always from 7 to 9 p.m., always at the Julia Ann Singer center.
Monthly Meeting
What: a regular, general meeting, with all sorts of good questions and answers from those in attendance.
Who: anyone who attends can ask questions and provide answers.
When: Wednesday, January 14th (2009!!!) from 7 to 9 p.m.

Why: because we love you!
This group is a little far away for me to attend (LOL!), but we just had an Asperger's support group start here in my area recently. I attend several different support groups and this one was refreshing because it was great to talk with other moms going through experiences so similar to mine!
