'Tis the Season to be Jolly!

For the month of December:

We're meeting on Saturday the 12th at the Kingston Library at 1:30 p.m.

On the Saturday of the 26th, there will not be a meeting due to it being the day after Christmas.

As you can see below this post I updated, Kate is now the one who shall post the details of what's planned for the meetings. Hopefully she will also have time to include whatever other topics happened to get talked about so that those who were not there can know what has already been covered.

December 12th meeting

Hello everyone!!

I hope that everyone is doing well. I wanted to let everyone know about the meeting on the 12th. First, the meeting time will be 12 noon to 2 pm instead. I hope that this can work. Also, the topic this month is social gatherings. I figured that we could all use some advice, strategy, and support in this area during the holiday season. I hope to see as many people as possible there.

Thanks,
Kate

Giving of Thanks

For the month of November:

We met on the 14th. Our topic of discussion was relationships.

There was no meeting the 28th.

It's now evident our group will probably remain in existence permanently. For that, adult Aspergians in the Hudson Valley region have Aspies of the Round Table to thank God for!

Sweet October

For the month of October:

We met on the 10th. A few of us went on the 14th to Manhattan's GRASP group.

There was a meeting on the 24th.

Irene has not attended our September meetings. No one is required to say in advance whether or not he or she shall be present at any particular meeting. This kind of unpredictability usually makes our gatherings all the more interesting.

Irene is not doing well with her health. Kate is taking Irene's place, at least until she is able to return. Instead of contacting Irene, contact Kate. Her email is listed in the right column.

On Schedule

For the month of September:

Thank you Max for sharing that ART is meeting in September as usual for both the second and fourth Saturdays.

On the 12th, we had fun playing a card game that helped us become better acquainted with those of us who played.

The September 26th meeting was also like the previous one in being more like a casual social gathering rather than led by one person.

We talked about going to see the movie "Adam" before it ends playing at the Rosendale Theatre on Wednesday, September 30th. The show times were scheduled for 7:15 p.m.

ART Continued

For the month of August:

ART gathered on the 8th and 22nd. As with last month, information about what occurred during then would have to be received from whoever attended.

I was still on my summer break. Because of unknown reasons, I lost track of what went on during this season with ART.

Lost Schedule

For the month of July:

ART held its regular meetings on the 11th and 25th. Information about what occurred during then would have to be received from whoever attended.

Personally, I needed to take a long break from my computers and regular attendance to Aspies of the Round Table meetings.

We're Going to Meet Anyhow!

For the month of June:

Those of us who came to the meeting on the 13th viewed Jamey Wolff's film "The Asperger's Difference" and discussed it afterwards. Later, we voted to gather even though Irene will not be attending ART on the 27th.

Dr. Brody will not be back until the 11th of July.

On June the 27th, there was an ART meeting. Due to its success, we will now continue to meet regardless of whether or not someone is available to lead the group.

special showing tomorrow

Hi everybody.
On Saturday, June 13th, at 2PM, Jamey Wolff of the Children's Annex will be presenting a new, unfinished, half hour movie about teens/young adults with Asperger's. She is interested in getting our feedback about it. She will really appreciate any comments about what age group the film would be useful for, and anything else people would like to share.
See you at 1:30 on Saturday!
By the way, we will be meeting in the smaller, children's reading room, adjacent to the children's library.

Dr. Irene Brody

May on the Spectrum

For the month of May:

The meeting planned for the 9th got messed up due to temporarily changing our regular routine to meet at the library.

The planned meeting for the 23rd had to be cancelled that morning due to not knowing in advance that the library was going to be closed.

Saturday, May 23.

Hi Folks. Unfortunately, the Kingston library is closed today, thus we must cancel our meeting. The next meeting is Saturday, June13th.
Have a happy memorial day weekend.

April Highlights

For the month of April:

On the 11th, we mostly talked about what things could bring us interesting topics for discussions (books, articles, information about Aspergers online, etc.). We decided to experiment on meeting together without Irene, since Irene will not be back again before Sat., May 23rd.

We got together as usual on the 25th of April, except without our accustomed structure Dr. Brody provides. Everyone successfully handled our experimenting with a free-form style during the first hour of our being together. Max arrived in time to practice chairing our second hour.

Neither Irene Brody nor Layne Habib were at the annual Walk for Autism. Those of us who did make it gathered at The Ridge School's table.

This event was held at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds, off Route 9 in Rhinebeck, NY between 9:00 am and 2:00 pm on Sunday, April 26th. The actual walk around the track began at 10:30 am.

All proceeds went towards Hudson Valley Autism Awareness. For more info, visit autismwalkhv.org.
