I too am looking for a support group.? Have a 12 year old Asperger boy.? We live in Columbia Station, which is southwest of Cleveland in Lorain county.? With all of the shopping centers close to I480 and I90, we should be able to find something.? Perhaps we could meet at a place like Panera's or Applebee's (or similiar family restuarant). ? I know it depends on age of children and whether or not the children would be coming with us.? I would like to meet with parents first few sessions and then bring children to meet each other if this works for others.? Even if we just met in person once, we could do it like a networking for business.? Where you meet, have some type of organization with introductions and then exchange addresses.? Networking is very helpful, and then you can continue to stay in touch with those who have similar situations for your situation.? Sometimes it is easier to communicate from our one home, from

our own computer with our situations.? Then we could network again every other month.?I would be willing to help in finding a spot to network and places maybe more accomodating to us if we use the term networking group than support group.Carol Brown

The parent I am posting on behalf of ,who isinterested in a support group, has a 10 year old sonwith cerebral palsy and Autism on the severe end ofthe spectrum. She is more interested in speaking toparents without the presence of her son more like asocial gathering to share stories and networks. I dontthink taking him a long would be practical for her, ashe has very high needs and behaviors. Please keep meposted, it's a great idea:) Bajornas--- cabstg@... wrote:> I too am looking for a support group.? Have a 12> year old Asperger boy.?
