I have a six year old son with Aspergers Syndrome and would like to network with other parents of aspergers kids. Is there anyone out there?

Your child should be serviced / look after by an Educational Psychologist (School Psychologist in N. Am.). They are based in ESF or the Special Education Unit of HK Education Department.

I know Dore Centre in Australia helps Aspergers, not sure if their HK centre does the same. You may try to contact them www.dorecentre.com.hk.

Try the following autism websites. Since Aspergers is on the spectrum, you may find other parents of children with Aspergers ...
autism.meetup.com/cities/cn/hong_kong/
www.rainbowproject.org
www.heephong.org
www.autismpnhk.org (autism parents network)
Good luck. As a parent of an autistic child, I understand how hard it is.

We also have a 6yr old boy with Aspergers Syndrome, and are thinking of trying to set up a parents support group. It's can be quite difficult to find resources in Hong Kong.

Are you interested in social skills training classes? I would be interested in speaking to you to share what resources we've each discovered.

Yes, very much so. We would have started these at home this year but I haven't managed to find any here yet. Can you pm me and we'll try to get together. Have met another mum of an AS boy and that's where the support group idea has come from as we're both new to HK and trying to find the resources here.

You can also try the "Project Aspire" run by the H.K. Institute of Education (www.ied.edu.hk/aspire) This program is specifically for Aspergers kids but I would say it's rather cater for Cantonese speaking child. My daughter is suspected as Aspergers too, she is now in K2.
