Are you interested in talking with other parents who have children on the spectrum? Once a month, parents have the opportunity to get together in a relaxed, informal atmosphere to talk about everything from their personal experiences to available resources and general education about autism. Past meeting topics have included gluten-free/casein-free diets, physician referrals and ABA providers. Meetings are held once a month on the second Sunday of the month at the Harmony Cafe', 233 E. College Avenue Appleton, from 6-7:30 pm If you are interested, please contact Kristin Wahl at kdwahl99@sbcglobal.net or phone her at and she will add you to the mailing list.

The Autism Society of the Fox Valley has organized a Teen Age Social Group
for adolescents 13- 18 years old. The group is aimed at teens who have
Asperger Syndrome or High Functioning Autism. The activities will be adult directed and supervised by a licensed Speech Pathologist and Autism Consultant. Families need to provide transportation to and from the event. Parents are encouraged to be available by phone but not to remain with their teen – to promote peer interaction. Please contact Peggy Bartman at peggybartman1@gmail.com or Diane Nackers at bnack5@gmail.com for more information.
