Hi Everybody. I have posted before about wanting to start a support group. I have talked with the library in Merrimack and we can hold the meetings there, but the rooms have to be booked. Please respond by telling me if you are interested in joining this group, and when you are available. The best time for me would be in the mornings, monday through Thursday, my son (the Autistic one) is in Kindergarten during that time, so the best time for me would be say 9-10:30 am. You would not have to…See More

Hi All! I have posted this before, I am trying to set up a support group in Merrimack for parents of Autistic children.
