Hello everyone!! !

Is there anyone here from Washington state? If so, I have been looking to find an AS support group for adults in any of the following counties: Thurston, Pierce, King. Thanks.

I'm from Washington State. I was once in an AS support group based in Puyallup and run by a psychologist from Seattle named Dr. Steve Becker. It's called Living with Asperger's. I don't know if it's still running or not. If not, then you can try Seattle.

Nice to meet you, Glyn.

I live in the mother of the states' state but I'm willing to be friends anyway.

Dr. Steve Becker? That's the guy who diagnosed me with AS. Small world huh.

Anyways, I'm in Pierce county, specifically Tacoma. I'd really like to find some sort of meetup group or just meet someone else with AS.
