Support Groups

Manhattan, NY

Your facilitator will be Karl Wittig at kwittig@earthlink.net

Who: Anyone on the spectrum is invited, plus those in support roles if they clearly identify their role. 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.

Where:

The meetings will be held at
339 West 24th Street
Building 2B Community Room
(between 8th and 9th Aves, on the north side of 24th St;
entrance is on a short path leading away from the sidewalk)

When: Meetings are held on the 2nd Wednesday of every month from 5:45 PM to 8:00 PM. Latecomers will be accommodated

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)
