Berkeley Support Group for Parents of Autistic Children?
I recently moved to Berkeley, and would like to develop a network of support that includes parents of autistic children. My son is 2.5 years old and has just been diagnosed. We are in the process of procuring services through insurance, but from what I read, this is only the beginning and there is so much I don't know, and so much I would like to discuss with other parents. I hope to make some connections here and meetup in person soon.

There is an online support group for parents of special needs kids. LOTS of conversations- questions and helpful advice. You could check out their website and decide if you'd like to subscribe to the listserv where you can ask questions and engage in discussions with parents facing similar challenges or those who've been through similar stuff in the past. There are people with young kids and also older kids- it's been very helpful for our family. http://www.ppsnk.org/
