Web support groups/forums for children

[mbrown]

My 12 year old boy who has Asperger's is keen to make contact with others around his own age with the condition. He does not have a wide circle of friends and would like to become aprt of an online group or forum.

 

Do any of you know of any suitable sites where he would be able to participate in dic#scussions or chat with other kids around his own age?

 

Thanks

Mike
