Groups for Young People With Aspergers
I'm 14, soon to be 15, and I've been aware of my diagnosis for around 2 years now. I'm accepting and perfectly fine with having Aspergers, but I'm having a problem connecting with others like me. Barely any groups exist (as far as I know) especially for girls (which I am). If you know of any groups or something similar to that (including groups online where we can chat and connect) then please let me know. Thanks for reading (and answering, if you did)!!

Hey! I have Asperger's syndrome as well, and I have been going to a group for a while now that is for kids and teens on the autism spectrum. The place I go to is called C.A.S.E. (Comprehensive Autism Services and Education). The group is called Friends' Club, and it's supposed to help young people with Asperger's to connect with others like them, which I think you might find helpful. :) There are separate groups for girls and boys as well.
Here's a link:

You did mention that you wanted to find some online groups too. I know of a couple online forums that you could check out as well:

I have attached a link to a website designed so that you may speak to others that have autism, and find support! My friend uses this website. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

The URL listed below is for an organization called GRASP. From what I was able to research they appear to be the largest Autism Spectrum organization. On their website, after joining their group, you and your parents will be able to view the different support groups affiliated with GRASP around the country, where they meet and how to contact them.
While looking for information for you I also found that there are a number of online groups and chat groups available. The chat groups might be a way of making some online friends possible friends close to where you live. I found these groups by entering the following into a yahoo search engine.
