Re: Anyone in the D.C. Area?

[Guest guest]

I don't but an idea I have is to look at the private schools in the

area for kids with AS and see if there are any of their school psychologists are

in private practice. The one I have now I found this way. What a waste of money

working with people who don't really

understand AS syndrome. And many say they do and yet don't.

Good luck.

Dear Kim,

There are several good therapists for adolescents with Asperger's at the Jewish Social Services Agency, in both Rockville, MD and Fairfax County, VA. I know the office in Fairfax offers individual as well as group counseling, in the form of a social skills group for teenagers with Asperger's and another one for young adults. My son participated in both groups and now goes to meetings of a social club for young adults with Asperger's and related disorders. Here's the URL of the JSSA: www.jssa.org. If you call them on the phone, they can give you more detailed information. All the services are non-sectarian.

Good luck!
