Asperger Syndrome (AS) is a neurobiological disorder on the higher-functioning end of the autism spectrum.

An individual's symptoms can range from mild to severe. While sharing many of the same characteristics as other Autism Spectrum Disorders

(ASD's) including Pervasive Developmental Disorder - Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) and High-Functioning Autism (HFA),

AS has been recognized as a distinct medical diagnosis in Europe for almost 60 years,

but has only been included in the U.S. medical diagnostic manual since 1994 ("Asperger Disorder" in the DSM-IV).

Individuals with AS and related disorders exhibit serious deficiencies in social and communication skills.

Their IQ's are typically in the normal to very superior range. They are usually educated in the mainstream, but most require special education services.

Because of their naivete, those with AS are often viewed by their peers as "odd" and are frequently a target for bullying and teasing.

They desire to fit in socially and have friends, but have a great deal of difficulty making effective social connections.

Many of them are at risk for developing mood disorders, such as anxiety or depression, especially in adolescence.

Diagnosis of autistic spectrum disorders should be made by a medical expert to rule out other possible diagnoses and to discuss interventions.

The support is for Asperger Syndrome people and other young people with high functioning autism, or PDD may also be comfortable in our group.

18 and up and a support for the parents and young adults and college students with asperger syndrome.

The main purpose of the group will be socializing. We meet once a month for a support-type group where we will get to know one another and talk

about the challenges of our jobs or college classes, learning to deal with co-workers, and finding friends when school is over. We would also like

to meet one other night each month to go to a movie, out to dinner, bowling or any other activities that group members are interested in. We have

tentatively arranged to meet at Healthquest in Flemington. We have reserved a room for late Sunday afternoons. We would meet for two hours from

3:00 to 5:00 pm. Parents would be welcome to meet with one another at the same time. If you or someone you know would be interested in joining our group,

please contact Matt or Carolyn at Phone 908 236 6153
