Websites, blogs and forums for parents of adults with AS/HFA

Post Reply New Topic

Hello,

A couple of days ago I was diagnosed with high functioning Autism, and my Mums been looking for places on the internet that are specifically geared towards parents of adults with higher functioning forms of Autism. Does anyone here know anywhere? We've got a support group locally but they only meet once a month and she wants something to read in the meantime.

Thanks in advance

Here, you found it. This it the best place on the internet for parents of children that have autism spectrum disorder (ASD) diagnoses. Check out these forums, they are chock full of useful information. And there is so much more to WP, this Parent's Discussion section is just one part.

You are not alone. Welcome to WP

There are some excellent books, recently published, that your mom may find worthy of reading. She can obtain them through any bookstore or through your local library...

"Getting to Grips With Asperger's Syndrome (Understanding adults on the Autism Spectrum) by Carol Hagland

"Working With Adults With Asperger's Syndrome" by Carol Hagland and Zillah Webb

"Hitchhiking Through Asperger's Syndrome" by Lise Pyles with a forward by Tony Attwood, Ph.D

"Our Journey Through High Functioning Autism and Asperger's Syndrome...A Roadmap" by Linda Andron with forwards by Tony Attwood, Ph.D and Liane Holliday Willey

This place is the best I have to admit.

May I be as bold as to suggest

www.jelibean.com

We are always available to take any questions or to give advice if anyone needs us.

Wrong Planet is in my opinion the bestest place for us to meet though!

Thanks everyone, I'll pass those on.
