If you are a teen with AS, you know how difficult it can be to find friends who share your interests and accept your unique qualities. If your a parent of an Aspie teen, like I am, you may be frustrated with seeing your bright and imaginative teenager glued to the computer. This group is about making connections and getting out and having fun. Social events will be planned around members' interests. Ideas might be game nights, dinner and movie nights, hikes, etc. Having fun learning life skills in a group atmosphere is another option- shopping trips, cooking, etc. Parents, we can get together for support, information, and just plain fun at the same time

    "Hey everyone! If you have any movies that you think would be great to see on a large screen, (50x136 in), bring them along. We will see what the kids want to watch. Otherwise, we could do Inception."
