Support Groups

Philadelphia, PA

The Philadelphia GRASP network meets monthly at the Easttown Library in Berwyn, PA. The Library is located at 720 First Ave., Berwyn.

We meet from 2PM to 4PM, on the Second Saturdays of each month, subject to availability of our meeting room.

A photo of the Library, their phone number, and driving directions can be found at: http://www.ccls.org/cwo/Find_a_Library/Easttown

We have over 130 members in our group. They range in age from
18 to 65 plus. The majority of our members are single. We have a
2/1 male/female ratio in our membership. Some of our members
are self-diagnosed. Most have been professionally diagnosed at
varying times in their lives. We operate a Yahoo listserv for our
members. We have an extensive lending library of books and
other materials on Autism/AS available to members.

Please Note:  This Support Group is open ONLY to ADULTS THEMSELVES with AS, PDD-NOS or HFA. Membership information is kept through the main GRASP office, so you must subscribe before you can attend.  This allows your membership to remain as anonymous as you desire.  We respectfully request that anyone in attendance not share with others the names of anyone else they have seen at a meeting.

Cost: All GRASP groups are absolutely FREE to attend. However, GRASP survives on funding from foundations, corporations, and generous individuals. If you wish to donate to GRASP, we would gratefully appreciate it (and we’re almost certain to need it). You can make a tax-deductible donation with a credit card via our DONATE page or mail your check made out to GRASP to: GRASP, 666 Broadway, Suite 830, New York, NY 10012

(out of over 5000 people, we've luckily only had to use this 7 times.
But there'll be more— we are vulnerable by design as we do not demand that everyone bring often-expensive proof of diagnosis)
