My son has autism and I am struggling tremendously. I want to get together weekly with other people like me so we can all help each other cope.

This is a playgroup / support group for parents who have children on the autism spectrum. Both of my sons have Autism. Just this week I have met two moms whose children were recently diagnosed and they didn't know any other parents who have kids on the spectrum. I think it's important that we all come together as a community. While the kids play together, parents are able to talk and share information, resources, advice and support. You are not alone and neither is your child! Come and join us!

This is a group for mothers of children with autism or related developmental disorders to get together and share experiences, resources and strategies for their children and support each other through a shared experience which can sometimes be very isolating.

We're trying to gather a group (4~5) of "like-minded" musicians who want to sharpen their playing skills. So far we have a drummer and a keyboardist...looking for complementary instruments to make a complete band.

Hi there! Its really tough when you have a kiddo diagnosed with Autism or a Special Need of some sort to put yourself out there and do things that parents with NT kids do. Im not pitting folks against each other, the overall experience is just different. We get the stares, the "How could that parent let that child get AWAY with that!" sort of feedback at malls, parks, playgrounds. . .just walking around. I am proposing a group thats only semi organized since many of us live in a life thats ful …

Playgroup for kids and their parents to help with socialization.  Children on the autism spectrum or with developmental, communication issues. Parents must accompany children.

My 22 month old was recently diagnosed with PDD NOS, which is on the Autism Spectrum. Its been a whirlwind of emotion, information, scheduling and finally starting ABA therapy. I would like to find parents that are going through the same. I think shared experiences are helpful. I would also LOVE to have a playgroup for my child to participate in with other children and parents that can understand our world. We are looking forward to exploring this new world with other parents and their children.

"This group is started by a mother with a son 16 years of age on the autism spectrum. The groups goal is to create friendships and companionships with individuals with special needs. It is hard enough for teens and young adults to make new friends with the pressures of teen hood so having a disability makes it almost impossible. Please consider joining us, the group will meet once a week with location and time varying.

Note: This group is ONLY for parents, guardians and family members of teens ages 15 - 17 with Aspergers Syndrome or High functioning Autism. I am hoping this group grows quickly because our young teens with Asperger's are very bright young people in need of making friends that can relate with them. Most teens with Asperger's have excellent academic records but that's not enough. So let's get them together for fun activities at least once a month they deserve it they work hard in school and have …

The purpose of this Meetup is to introduce a new and very effective natural healing method, Ki(Qi)-Energy Healing Therapy to those who are suffering with pain. Through many years of mental and physical training, I have mastered the way to withdraw spiritual energy called Ki(Qi) from the universe freely.

Greetings- This is a group primarily to provide opportunities for ASD-PDD kids (and their parents/ caregivers) to interact with peers. My observations and experience is that there are plenty of groups on LI for people to talk about things. This will be a forum for kids to hopefully interact with other kids, and parents/ caregivers can align to create play groups, support networks, idea/ method exchange, etc. The idea for this group came about as I have a 7 y.o. ASD-PDD grandson who lost his Dad, …

I started this group to provide a place where NT partners/spouses could meet and support each other. The meetings are not intended to be therapy sessions, but more along the lines of supporting each other since many of our friends and family members do not understand our unique relationships with our Aspie spouses/partners. Some of the meet-ups will have particular topics to discuss, some will be fun events to play and afford us a stress-free time and others will be informal with discussions bei …
