Just joined the Foorce!!! So pumped about finding your social group for my 13 year old aspie Lauren … who is lonely and ostracised at school for being different. Look foward to the get togethers…and having a fun time!
Glad to have you! James will be 12 this Fall so maybe they can hang out. Are you in Manhattan? Will be posting the first list of events for July very soon – keep an eye out.
Hi this is Linda, Lauren’s mom, yes we are in manhattan and we met you when the summer camp and activity info was given out. What we don’t know is..at what time and where do we meet on Tuesdays?We’re hoping for a good time as well as new connections, after a really hard year!!
The group actually will meet randomly, schedule with dates, times and places to be posted soon – many of the days in July happen to fall on Fridays with some weekends too.
Just joined- Go Team Foorce!!!
