Community
People with Asperger's Syndrome
need each other, but they're not always the easiest group to get together.
It requires dedication and organization. We at the Asperger Society have
the dedication, and we want to be the organization that helps change the
way the world looks at Aspies (whether those looking have ever heard of
AS or not).
Forming a spectrum community begins with peer-support and family-support
groups. Whenever possible we try to partner and participate with groups
already established in their areas:
To join a group in the San Francisco area please contact Jack Fagan or one of the other great people at AASCEND.
To join a group in San
Jose / Santa Clara County please contact our
very own
Ed Phipps.
To join a group in Orange County please contact Barbara
Ferreira and visit the
OC Asperger Meetup Group
and the OC
Asperger Yahoo Group.
If you want to find a group
in your area, start with Google and Meetup.com.
If you don't find anything and you think you might want to START
a group, we are ready to help:
