GROUP THERAPY POLL FOR THOSE WITH ASPERGER'S AND HFA

Post Reply New Topic

This poll is for individuals who have gone through group therapy for those with Asperger's Syndrome and High Functioning Autism.

I have taken a cognitive therapy in group that was very effective, but it wasn't exclusively for people on the spectrum

I was once in outpatient group therapy with people who had a wide variety of diagnoses and it worked out great!

I think that group therapy would be fun.

i would love group therapy but i live out in the sticks and such therapy generally is available only for city-dwellers.

Ditto, ceptin I live so far in the sticks the sticks call us the sticks... Harlan county Kentucky ladies and gentlemen where they call something a "city" if it's more than a square block... no I'm not kidding.

i guess there is always something to be thankful for.

I've benefited from group therapy but it's not the usual kind of group; it's more of a combination advocacy/somewhat-activist group for disabled people in general. It's very odd, because now I actually greet people in the hallways sometimes, thanks to that group. Used to be I don't know anybody and can't recognize them if I can, but it's easy enough to recognize somebody by their leg braces or hot-pink wheelchair--with people without visible disabilities, the best you can get is a penchant for red hair dye or chunky necklaces... If everybody looked different, we face-blind people wouldn't have this problem! (Actually, autistics are easier to recognize too. It's usually the awkward movement; it's got a different kind of rhythm to it.)
