Hi! My son is 9 and was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome about 5 years ago. He is mainstreamed into the regular third grade class with 2 aides with him throughout the day. There are many daily struggles at home, with school and unfortuately not a very undertanding teacher this year. Does anyone have any information about a local support group in the Cypress area? It doesn't have to be in Cypress, just somewhere locally. Thanks so much!

What can I do next?

Hi S.,

I asked a mom I know who is very involved in autism causes for a referral to an asperger support group. She knew of one: aspergers.meetup.com, which although it is based in Irvine, might be of some help via the internet. I checked out the website and saw that it lists a small group that meets in Long Beach. She also gave me two email addresses to give you - I believe these are two women involved in the asperger website. They are ____@____.com and ____@____.com. Finally, she suggested I give you her own email address in case she can help in any way: ____@____.com are both moms of children in the Cypress school district. Hope this helps. L.
