Hello Charlotte

 

i think we know each other, i think im your roomie from a conference we attended a few weeks ago.

 

http://www.aspergers.org.uk/ from the Supporting Asperger Families in Essex website.

 

"A.S.A.P. (Asperger Syndrome – Adults and Parents):

 

ASAP is SAFE’s adult group for those aged 17+ with Asperger Syndrome. The group meets monthly to deal with issues particular to adults such as independent living, supported employment and training, social communication and interaction skills, adult social care, friendships and relationships, mental health and carers’ issues. Members also receive monthly newsletters with further advice and information.

 

Our monthly meetings cover the whole county and take place in Colchester, Chelmsford or Southend, with specialist speakers talking on a variety of topics of interest to our adult members and their families. Every SAFE member over l7 years of age is welcome to join us, either with or without their families. Contact Carolann Jackson for more information by phone 01206 240931 or email.

 

We need your help to continue to run these projects which have had such a positive impact on hundreds of people with Asperger Syndrome living across Essex. Any contribution given will be greatly appreciated and will help our group develop into members of society capable of reaching their full potential. " http://www.aspergers.org.uk/Activities.htm
