Support

meetings for teens (13 years old to 19 years old) with

Asperger’s Syndrome/High Functioning Autism and related

conditions. These meetings are only

for the teens. They are facilitated by Branden, a member

of GRASP and Cliff Elkind, a High School teacher and dad of an Aspie.

Families,

clinicians, other family members may not attend the

meetings – they are only for the teens.

The

format and subject material are geared towards individuals

with AS/HFA only. One month each year is spent discussing

and picking out topics for the remainder of the year.

The sessions begin with new members introducing themselves,

our month’s topic is discussed, and at the end of

the meeting any new areas of concern are brought to

the group. Generally there are between 14-18 young

men and women at the meetings.
