Adult Autism Social Group. This is geared for folks approx. 18-35 years old with Autism /Aspergers. Jocelyn Lister will be the facilitator. Jocelyn is an experienced speech pathologist and former Spec. Ed. director. The focus of our nights will be on skills and fun---a combination of support that should meet the needs of everyone. We will include jokes and humor, games and riddles, construction and problem solving and some light cooking adventures ( things that can be made with a microwave oven). The cost is $10.00 per session. This will cover the cost of any materials and a light snack for each session.
