Welcome to the Teen Autism/Asperger’s Social Group!
We offer two social groups for teens and young adults on the autism spectrum. The Teen Group is for teenagers ages 14 to 17. The Young Adult Group is for young adults ages 18 to 23. Both groups are for individuals on the autism spectrum who live in or near the Pittsburgh Metropolitan Area.
These groups are sponsored by the Advisory Board on Autism and Related Disorders (ABOARD). You can visit ABOARD's web site at: http://www.aboard.org
About These Meetup Groups:
These Meetup social groups are for teens and young adults on the autism spectrum who want to meet other teens with whom they can relate in a venue where they can have fun and socialize. These groups are not therapy groups or support groups.
These social groups are run and facilitated by social skills coach, Wendy Halley-McAllister. To learn more about Wendy, you can visit her web site at: http://www.socialskillsbywendy.com
Group Meeting Times:
This group meets in Squirrel Hill, PA on Sunday afternoons.
Other Social Groups for People with Autism in Pittsburgh:
This is one of three ABOARD-sponsored Meetup groups in the Pittsburgh area for people on the autism spectrum.
