Hello,

Just joined - my young adult son was recently diagnosed with Aspergers. Trying to learn all I can to help support him as he goes through counseling, etc. A bit ironic (or maybe fortunate) as my stepson and stepdaughter are adults with ADD/ADHD, so there's a lot of personal experience to draw on.

We're in the western suburbs of Chicago and quite surprised at the apparent lack of support groups. Maybe I just haven't googled enough sites yet.

Welcome to Wrong Planet!

Try searching some local MeetUp support groups. They appear to be in most communities.
