Austrian Hans Asperger identified Asperger’s Syndrome in 1944. It is a neurologically based disorder on the autistic spectrum which affects social perception, interactions, language and nonverbal communication. People with Asperger’s look typical, may have average to superior intelligence, but lack the social awareness and skills needed to connect with their world.

ASPIE of Houston is a parent and professional support group serving the Greater Houston area that was created to provide information sharing and support to the many families and professionals who live and work with individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome. In order to meet member support needs, ASPIE now offers two additional support groups: ASPIE Adults and ASPIE Teens. All groups meet the second Thursday of each month at 7 pm at Sugar Land Baptist Church in Sugar Land, TX room 302. (Directions)

Our goal is to foster awareness and understanding of this unique condition and to support, assist and help educate the many people who are connected in some way to AS. We hope to serve as a first-line resource for anyone needing up-to-date and accurate information on Asperger’s Syndrome and the many issues that surround it. At each monthly meeting, speakers share information on a variety of Asperger’s-related topics. In addition, time is devoted to questions and answers and networking with other parents and professionals. (See schedule page for speakers and topics.)

We invite parents, family members, friends, teachers, school-based therapists, private practitioners, physicians and anyone who might impact the life of an individual with Asperger’s Syndrome to attend our monthly meetings and become a member of ASPIE.
