Default Autistic adult
Many opportunities for adults w/special needs who are living with their parents here. There is a group called Special Friends Bowling that meet ea. Sat.for bowling & other activities throughout the yr. such as dances X-Mas parties etc. That has been put on hold due to Covid until after the new year but it is a large, active group. There is also a club/support group called Advocates for Adult Children with Intellectual Disabilities (AACID) that meets monthly, the 3rd Thurs. of ea. month at one of our rec centers. Different speakers come in ea. month. It is headed by John Langan who started the club about 6 years ago with approx. 12 families & I believe his e-mail list is now over 200 families. John is a wealth of knowledge & help in our Special Needs Community. Other opportunities are in the works.
