Here is the URl for a mutual support group in San Jose. I hope it helps him. I work with children on the spectrum, and see improvements happening on a regular basis. At least now there are enough people with various forms of autism that research is getting more serious!

Excerpted from their webpage - "Positive community support for adults, children, families, and friends . . . we're not focused on diagnosis here -- we're about social skills development, independence, happiness, and community.
All are welcome to join. Please respect that this is not a forum to debate causes and "cures" for the autistic spectrum. This is a place for shared knowledge and experience, for learning how to thrive, and for making new friends!
