My grandson ison" Stratera" now for 3 months and experiencing weight loss due to lack of appitite !

Any suggestions

I have located two different books on Social Groups for individuals with Aspergers & Related… DO tyou have any persoanl experience with either?

Consider that we are going to be working directly with the teens to assist them in becoming better "socializers" .

I appreciate your input… I have ordered many books/tapes over time only to be dissapointed with their effective usefulness so I appreciate any input on the two.

Hi

You can set up an Asperger Support Chapter through Aspen of NJ there web site is www.aspennj.org and you can e-mail them at aspenorg@aol.com or call them at (732)321-0880.
If you have any more question please e-mail me at info@aspergerfriends.com

We have a group of parents interested in forming a social group for teens (13-17ish). Do you have any recommendations on a curriculum (well... not that formal) that provides some tried and true ice-breakers that allow interaction of the teens and also offers tips in becoming a better "socailizer"? We would appreciate any input on this… we are ready to get rolling… we have a delightful young man (cool- looking) to facilitate. He has grown up with a brother with aspergers, is a peer mentor in a respite center. Our goal is to give the kids someone they can relate to age wise (he is 22)…. But are looking for the next step as far as what will occur at the twice monthly meeting. Looking forward to input!
