“My son is 22 years old, and this is the first time in his life that he’s had such social success! Being able to go to a social function and connect with other people is a godsend for him.”
— Parent of an Adult Social Group Member

"I wanted to thank you again for everything that you have done and for leading the group. I tend to complain a lot and not focus on the good things- so I wanted to make sure that you know that I am happy that there is a group. I don't say it often, but I am really glad that AANE exists."
