For this reason we do not include caretakers/parents in the group meetings as this can prevent the person they are caring for as well as the other members from opening up. This is a safe place to share your struggles, exchange …

Ours is an amazing group for adults with Asperger's and High Functioning Autism. It was originally created as a social club for people who don't always fit in easily or who have difficulty finding and making friends in an NT world.
