How do I find a social skills group?

[mattsmom14]

I have seen it suggested that kids with aspergers join a social skills group. How do I go about finding one for my 14 year old son and how do I make him go? I think he would be pretty self conscious about it and I don't want to make his self esteem any worse.

You can start by seeing if the school offers one. If they do not, then you can always call local therapists or google social skills and your city/state.  Let me know if you get stuck and I can see what I can help to find.

Thanks! We are about to move to another state in about 3 weeks so I am going to wait until we get out there to look into it. I think I may have better luck out there, we are moving to a bigger city (Las Vegas) so they are bound to have more resources than the area we live in now. Thanks for your input.
