Attn : Stacey Hoaglund -Re: ASA Broward Meeting, Oct 15

[Guest guest]

This is for Stacey.. I have an adult with possible Aspergers (female

age 30) who is interested in finding support groups and doctors who

will evaluate her. She is in Broward, and I told her about the

Broward ASA meeting coming up about HFA/AS. She has had some trouble

negotiating the " hoop jumping " and is posting on OASIS. May I refer

her to you? I also told her that R was a good resource.

She would specifically be looking for adult groups, perhaps UM??

Thanks,

> Focus on HFA and Aspergers Disorder

> Presenter: Roselione

> Center for Autism and Related Disabilities

>

> Many children with HFA/Aspergers struggle with perseverations,

obsessions, and coping with frustrating situations. This training

will give parents information on understanding their child’s

disability and possible limitations in social skills, pragmatic

language, and need for continuity/routines. Parents will gain a

better understanding of their child’s disability and come away with

suggestions on how to support and guide them through school and

community life.
