Play Dates With NT Peers

A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭
Hicksville, NY

Hello all,
How do you go about setting up playdates for your kids? I have been trying to find a "friend" for my 8 year old, however, it is difficult. We do not have family close by, so no cousins etc. who would be able to play with him. I want him to spend some time with peers who are "typical".
is there a way to find and set up playdates?
Thanks for your help!

We have a parent resource center in our city. You take your kids to play. There's a small fee. All of my children enjoy going to play.

I am in nj and part of a wonderful moms group I met on meetup.com. I have been with them since my guy was a baby and he is now five. Love those ladies and he loves his playmates when we can get our schedules to match up!

Hi mom2-3ggb,
which city would this be at? Would you have a web address for the resource center? I could look at it and see if we can set up something similiar in our town?
thanks
