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.
