High Functioning Autistic Girls for Play Dates

Hi S.,
Have you contacted SARRC? (southwest autism research and resource center) Or Elaine Berkely from Frog's Landing who runs a social skills program for autistic/asperger's kids starting age 8 and up? They have group activities, call and ask her if there are any girls in the program. The website is:

Good luck. And know you're not alone.

Hello Susie,
My daughter is a high functioning autistic with slight developmental issues. She goes to that school near 101 /tatum. We are friends with two other autistic..
I am a graduate student, work as a respite/habilitation provider with Dept. Developmental Disabilities. D.

My daughter is almost 11 1/2 yrs old. She is not autistic, however I feel she would be someone that your daughter may enjoy playing with. Maybe we could take them swimming together or to the park. It is worth a try. I live down near Cave Creek Rd and Carefree Hwy. Hope this helps.

Hello, S.,

I am a teacher at a very good Paradise Valley middle school located near the 101 and Tatum. At our school we also have a special program for autistic and communication disorders. I will ask the teacher of this program if she has a student in her class that she thinks could be a good companion for your daughter. Would this be helpful? If so, please e-mail me privately your contact information, and I will forward it to her.
