support groups

Post Reply New Topic

i've only know about AS for less than a year. i haven't been diagnosed but there's a good amount of compelling evidence that i may in fact have it. i live in the US and there is absolutely no way that i could afford to go through the diagnosis process, especially since my insurance does not cover any mental health. also my dad just lost his job (i'm still a dependent, the insurance is my parents), so i have had to stop seeing my therapist, who was already giving me a reduced rate out of kindness. i was seeing her for depression and bipolar disorder. however, i would still like to know more about asperger's. i've learned a lot being on this site and from my friend who has AS. would a support group be a good place to go? do they let you stay if you don't have a diagnosis? how do you go about finding one? do they cost anything? lots of questions...

There's supposed to be an autism support group at my school soon...There are only 12 people including me who are on the spectrum.

San francisco IS supposed to have a number of AS people. Still, how many people go to your school? I assume they are all pretty high functioning.

About 2500 at my school.

I'll be moving to San Francisco around March/April next year. It'd be nice to find a support group.
