Suggest Support Group For Adult Children With Asperger Syndrome
Question: I am a slow typer, so please bear with me. I am 77 yo and have a son who has shown sympthons (sp) like Asperger's. He is 53 yo, never married, has a degree in Pharmacy and has been fired from about 5 jobs. He has worked in other states so I just assumed he would not trying to get along. (My education was High School, with a very short time in college). I'm retired from a major U.S. Airline. This son is living with his twin brother in Md. right now.
My wife and I are at a loss as to how to approach this problem. Is there a support group for patents of Adult children with this condition. It would greatly help if I could communicate with someone on the phone, as this has taken me about 15 or 20 mins. to type this message. I would be glad to pay the tariff, if you can supply me a telephone no. (I am in Okla.) XXXXXXX O'Connor 918-367-3803 or 918-740-3603
