Are there online groups for autism?

Answers:
If this young man has Aspergers' Syndrome (or otherwise, is generally high-functioning), then try AspieVillage (www.aspievillage.org.uk)

AspieVillage was created by, and is ran by, people with Aspergers' Syndrome, as opposed to all of the other 'support' websites, ran by 'professionals'.

The website covers several areas, such as communication with 'normal people ('NT's)', dealing with social issues, as well as intellectual puzzles and debates

There are very few groups of support FOR people with autism, mostly they are people raising children with autism, and I know that there is one for spouses of people with autism. This website might have a group, you have to scroll all the way to the bottom for support groups

There are support groups online covering all the aspects of autism. There are groups for teachers, parents, therapists, and families of people with autism. There are also support groups for people with autism so that they can talk about their experiences.
