A new support group is being formed -- it's about time, too! Partners, spouses, and caregivers of adults with Asperger's Syndrome, Pervasive Developmental Disorder, and High Functioning Autism are welcome. We'll exchange ideas, brainstorm solutions, provide encouragement, and may even vent -- who is to stop us? I've decided to start the group b/c some of people I know and work with are in dire need of benefiting from the experience and wisdom of others who've lived with and cared for those on the Autism spectrum. This group is for those loving, living with, and caring for adults with Asperger's. If you're that person, we need you in this group. We're now testing the waters to see how many people would be interested and what days and times would work best for the meet-ups. The first session is to take place early to mid-August. The location will be in Lakeway, TX (78734). Lakeway is west of Austin and is its suburb off of Lake Travis. Please contact me for more info and with preferred times/days: Dr. Maria Fishel, maria@doctorfishel.com.

"I thought a group like this only existed in my dreams! My husband and I moved to Austin in September and not only do I not know anyone yet, but we're in the process of having our son evaluated and diagnosed as well. Look forward to meeting you all."
