HelpASAP stands for "Help: Autism Support Access in Phoenix". First formed for members of the "Moms Group" that meets monthly at Coco's, this list now includes parents from all over the valley and state. The goal of this list is to give parents a forum to share information and concerns informally - a sort of "on-line" version of our parent support group. Anything goes --share your trials and triumphs, ask for help and recommendations on local resources, discuss topics in-depth that we touch on at meetings. Access is restricted, but only to allow parents to feel confident that personal information shared will be kept confidential.
