Hello. My name is Michele. We live in Griffith, IN. Both of our children have a form of Autism #1 has Asperger's Syndrome, and #2 has Moderate to Severe Autism. Between working, and parenting and whatever else life has to throw at us, we're just wiped out and don't have much time for friends. Looking to possibly create a social group just for parents and/or Parents and their children(depends on what works for the majority).
