Guest guest Posted June 13, 2010 Report Share Posted June 13, 2010 We live in andria, Va in the DC area and are looking for more social opportunities for our 36 year old son. He is very social but like most AS kids and young adults, he needs more experience socializing. Does anyone out these in the DC area have any suggestions?

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Hi. I live in the D.C. area too--near Reston--but my son is only 18. He's probably not old enough to have much in common with your son. I don't know if your son would consider going to a support group as an opportunity to socialize, but I think it might be a good place to try--even if you just contact them to ask for some ideas. (BTW, I found this by googling " adult support groups Northern Virginia NOVA " ) Asperger Adults of Greater Washington Support and social groups for adults 18 and over who live in the region and who have Asperger's, high-functioning autism, nonverbal learning disorder, semantic pragmatic disorder and PDD-NOS. Members attending their first meeting may bring a family member or friend. Meets montly.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Does he work? Does he live independently? Does he belong to any community based programs (church, ymca etc)?

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 Hi , I'm not from the D.C. area but I'm wondering if your last name is Hagan? That is my maiden name. I wonder if Jill from VA still reads the list. She would be a wonderful resource for you. Pam In a message dated 6/13/2010 8:28:53 P.M.
