Greater Cleveland Asperger Support My Favorite Things Social

[Guest guest]

Greater Cleveland Asperger Support presents "My Favorite Things", a social opportunity for children with Asperger's Syndrome and other autistic spectrum disorders, Tuesday, May 20, 7 p.m., at the Independence Civic Center. Kids of any age are invited to set up a table showing off their hobbies or subjects of interests. Siblings, parents and friends are encouraged to visit the tables and ask questions. Examples of hobbies or interests can be Lego block building, jewelery making, dinosaur habitats or Egyptian hieroglyphics.

Siblings are welcome to help man the tables when affected children wish to walk around and look at other tables. Parents are encouraged to coach their children ahead of time on appropriate questions and answers. Also, parents and adult volunteers are needed to help facilitate conversations. Kids with tables are encouraged to have a list available to collect e-mails and telephone numbers of other kids that share their interest. To help ensure that all tables are visited, index cards will be distributed ahead of time to be punched at every table.

The target age for this activity is elementary through junior high age, but all are welcome. RSVP Theresa at @... before Friday, May 16 with total number of attendees, whether your child wishes to have a table and the hobby or interest being displayed.
