less than 1 mile away in Evanston, IL33 Group MembersThere are no upcoming Meetups.
This group is for fathers of children with Aspergers Syndrome (and PDD-NOS) to get together and share the unique experience of being a father of a child with AS, and to arrange recreational activities for the kids too. The reason this is designed for fathers specifically is that almost all of the support groups I have seen on this topic are for mothers, or are dominated by mothers. Parenting AS affects men in a unique way, and Aspie kids need male presence that meets their needs too.

12.2 miles away in Chicago, IL17 Parents of Kids with Asperger's
There are no upcoming Meetups.
While there are groups in the Chicago area for Adults with Asperger's and for Parents of Kids on the Autism Spectrum, I couldn't find a group focused on Parents of Kids with Asperger's. There is so much variance among kids on the Spectrum, that I thought it would be great to meet parents dealing with the specific issues raised by Asperger's. The purpose of the group is to create a community where parents of "Aspies" can support one another and exchange ideas and opinions on everything from schoo …

Meetup details are available only to members.
The purpose of the group is to provide support for parents whose kids have multiple needs and many acronyms (PDD, ADHD, NVLD, SID, ASD, CAP disorders, etc.!) Parents like me, whose children need multiple therapies, appointments, school accommodations. It is exhausting, overwhelming, and way too isolating. Break out of your isolation and meet others who understand what it's like to live a life with a Spectrum kid, attend a meet up! I hope we can share resources and support, and have a little …
