Suggestions from Seasoned Parents needed

[Guest guest]

Happy Pre-turkey day.

I have a 14year old female (you probably know that) with autism.

Moderate-?????

Someone just asked me for suggestions of what to do for

teenagers...meaning activities, etc...A group is applying for a

grant and the money has to be used on Materials, etc (no

administrative costs...its an all volunteer organization anyway).

I have read here where there are " book clubs " , however, my daughter

while she can read, is not verbal enough to express what she read,

nor " do we think " she has the ability/interest to read a book more

than things like " golden books..but boy she know's what they say " .

Does anyone have suggestions for Group type activities, education,

etc that a 13-21 year old should be involved in, or would have liked

to have had when their child was that age?

Feel free to e-mail offline if you want.

Suggestions/recommendations of what DIDN't work also are welcomed.

I'm at a real loss.

Thanks,
