My 4yr. old son was just diagnosed with Asperger's. We are looking for others to meet with & learn from. Please help.

Hello. My name is Monica. I have a 4yr. old that was recently diagnosed with Asperger's & Oppositional Defience Disorder. We are looking for other kids to meet with & parents to learn from. We are new to this & need help with it. We also have a 19mon. old that was born with & still has Epilepsy which has caused him severe developmental disorder(can't sit up, walk, has little upper body control, etc.). Now with Thomas(4yr. old) having AS & ODD we have our hands full. The AS causes him to be less sociable & sorta withdrawn with others. We are wanting to get a headstart on helping him so we can know how to handle it & be the best parents we can be. So far we haven't really found any support and/or meeting groups for these conditions. If anyone has any advice on any of these conditons or knows of any groups around the Horn Lake, MS/Memphis, TN area please feel free to respond. We welcome any form of help.
Thank you, Monica
