KSera Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Is there a club here for parents of kids on the spectrum? I tried looking, but didn't see one in the first couple screens, after which point none of those clubs are active anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenmom5 Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 If you want support group type things - aspergers experts has a forum for parents. It's founded by, and run by - aspies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 There is a social group called Aspies here on the board. I don't belong to it (though my son does have ASD). It doesn't look really active. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innisfree Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 (edited) Before the most recent board format change, there was a social group. I'm not aware of it being active since then. I wonder how much interest there would be in a new one. ETA that at the moment my interest is in the older teen/young adult/launching-or-not issues. Anyone else?

East Coast Sue Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 I’d be up for that (my ds is 16, almost 17). I seem to have a hard time finding a group on here once I’ve joined. Anyone have advice on how to find them? I access through my phone if that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I get to a group page I bookmark it, both on my laptop and on my phone. I've never had much luck accessing groups from the main forum page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innisfree Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 On my phone, I go through the three horizontal lines in the upper right hand corner. Touch "Browse," then "Clubs." The most recently active clubs are on top. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSera Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Maybe something like “Parents of young adults on the spectrum”? (I almost said “Parenting” but I don’t want to get into that debate again 😉.) I do think the issues with young adults and launch (or lack of launch) are distinctly different from the kinds of issues parents are dealing with with younger kids on the spectrum, so a group with that focus would be useful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSera Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 I could see about setting one up if no one else wants to. I haven't done it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I set it up as a closed club, so PM me if you would like to be invited (or maybe that's only required with private? It may be you can just request to join, but if you can't find it, I can invite you). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
