Anyone else notice the lack of services available for those with AS? I've been looking for awhile and only have been able to find one program in my area (North of Boston, MA) run out of the ARC. Anyone else in this neck of the woods have any suggestions as to where to look? My son is 8 and has a diagnosis of AS.

Is there nothing AANE can do? Do they not have a clearinghouse of some sort, even for kids?

If you are looking for a social skills group I have heard of several: the Friendship Connection in Georgetown, one in Andover with Dr. Janice Goldstein, and Angelcare in Haverhill. I don't know anything about these groups but hopefully it will give you a starting point.
