TALKASAPhilly was created by the Greater Philadelphia Area Chapter of the Autism Society of America to provide a welcoming place for all ASA Philly families to have conversations, to ask questions, to share in a virtual support group.

It is meant to be a place that is safe and comfortable for individuals to share their thoughts, concerns, opinions, needs, wants, desires for their loved ones with autism. This is a place for newly diagnosed families as well as more seasoned families.

The group is RESTRICTED to parents/relatives/caregivers of children, of all ages dx with ASD. Parents/relatives who are ALSO professionals, who serve our children may join but they may not promote their business.

Please read our general rules and guidelines for membership. You will receive a copy when you join and can always refer to them in the file section of this group.

***For Families of Older Adolescents, age 17+ and Adults, FamiliesofAdultsAutism-ASAPhilly is available. Messages are posted without the moderator's approval. http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/FamiliesofAdultsAutism-ASAphilly.
