Autistic/ASD Play Group Question
, 03 21st, 2008
Does anyone know if there’s a directory of autism or ASD play groups or meetings in different areas? I live in Seattle and my son has Asperger’s. We’re confused about where to start looking for play groups or play-dates. We’d also like to know if there ASD family support groups in different areas. We’re slowly learning that our son faces a host of challenges in every aspect of life. He’s already been expelled from 3 schools and we can’t afford a private school. Luckily our employers work with us on our numerous trips to bring him home from school. Your chelation therapy strategies help enormously, but he needs social interaction beyond what he gets at school where he undoubtedly faces ridicule and scorn.
We have found a nice school about twenty miles from home that is really putting a lot of effort into helping him. He spends a lot of time with the special education teacher now when he starts having an outburst. He’s extremely bright and years ahead of his peers in terms of cognitive abilities. His reading and mathematics levels are literally well beyond the curriculum of his first grade class. He struggles terribly with this emotions, though, and it is certainly heartbreaking.
My concern with the playgroups comes from speculation that some ASDs, like Asperger’s, are genetic. Along that line of reasoning it would be safe to assume that many of the parents also have traits of ASD which may ultimately lead to the parents in the play group not getting along. Is this a phenomenon anyone has experienced?
