Try reaching out directly to Labyrinth Games on the Hill: https://www.labyrinthdc.com/

They might be aware of groups or other resources that could help. Plus it's an amazing store!

Thank you so much for responding, that really means a lot. I've been to the Labyrinth many times and even took him to a game night but never thought to inquire into a video game meetup. I'll get on that asap.

No problem! You can also check with Child's Play in Chevy Chase DC - they might also have some resources.

Finally, reach out to Dr. Edward Spector - he's a Rockville-based psychologist with a TON of experience with ASD and video games, and I'm sure he'll have some resources to share:

It's a schlep from Takoma Park, but it is indeed a great store and they seem to love hosting gaming events.
