Try this group...maybe you have already heard of it... it's a Closed group so you'd have to send a Join request...but often lots of requests such as yours posted mainly in Leinster, maybe you would have luck there...alas, I am over in the West and not so many here, same issue too with my teenager....Happy Autism Day!! And good luck!

Could you contact Asiam and see if they can point you in the right direction?

Hi there,

Welcome to Boards. It might be worth starting a thread in the Long Term Illness forum. I know that they have been good for pointing out resources in the past and may be able to point you in the direction of groups too. I hope that helps!

How can I? User's guide to some features on the new site

Don't limit your search to particular groups for people with Aspergers. Think about groups and activities that he loves and enjoys, and he's likely to get along well there, and meet people with and without Aspergers.
