Autism Spectrum Disorder Support Group
Last night we had our monthly support group meeting here in Tampa at Casa Mexicana in Tampa. As usual, I got to enjoy myself and learn more about the community. We have a group of parents that know so much about things such as I.E.P.s, home schooling and parking permits. One of our most experienced parents with an adult child who has been all over the country and has tried various treatments told me that even she picked up a few tips. A Few good pediatricians and therapist will be added to our resource list as some new names were recommended by new members of the group. I answered a few questions , mostly regarding Hemispheric Integration therapy. The best part is always the sharing and fellowship. Its nice to see the look on some faces who usually do not get a night out and if so not with others that understand their situation. If you are in Tampa remember that next week we are having a family outing at planet bounce for support group members. This is a special time reserved for our group for just families with children on the spectrum. Another outing for the parents and some much needed social time for the kids.

I personally get so much out of every support group meeting! I appreciate Dr. Mane and his office pulling this support group together and the exchange of information at every single meeting is so valuable. Thank you!
