Please reply to: Bill.Amundsen@...

I have 2 boys: 18 / Asperger's and 15 / PDD-NOS. Both are pretty high

functioning with support from me and his mother who is a strong advocate and a

Godsend. They were diagnosed at ages 6 and 3 respectively...

Here's what I hope you can help with:

My 18 year old will be graduating high school in May and the plan is not

clear, but we will be losing the support of the school system and would like to

know if there is a networking group for parents with adult children with

Asperger's....preferably in the Katy / West Houston area, but that's not a

requirement.

We are also looking for a group of parents with PDD-NOS kids who are in

high school so that we can prepare for his transition.

Autism is a very silent world; but the potential in that world speaks

volumes.... Texas Autism Advocacy: www.TexasAutismAdvocacy.org

" There are some aspects of a person's life that we have no right to

compromise. We cannot negotiate the size of an institution. No one should live

in one. We cannot debate who should get an inclusive education. Everyone

should. We cannot determine who does and who does not get the right to make

their own choices and forge their own futures. All must. "
