Item Description
The Orange County Asperger's Support Group [OCASG] is a one-of-a-kind organization in Orange County, CA, for families and individuals dealing with Asperger's Syndrome, High-Functioning Autism (HFA) and PDD-NOS. Founded in 2003, this non-profit 501(c)(3) group provides support, education, parent advocacy and adult self-advocacy for its members. The OCASG Mission: "We provide hope and support for people with Asperger's, High-Functioning Autism and PDD-NOS and their families through meetings, online communities, social events, skills training, education and advocacy. We are committed to improving communication, understanding and acceptance between the Asperger's and neurologically typical populations, and to ultimately improving the quality of life for all." Two monthly support meetings -- in Newport Beach [3rd Monday] and in North County [4th Monday] bring members together for informative and supportive fellowship. Monthly speakers address topics ranging from childhood issues like school IEPs to adult issues like jobs, careers and independent living. OCASG hosts age-specific activities for all ages' helping kid, teen and adult Aspies with community integration and social skills.
