Workshop in London for NT Partners of Asperger spouses

Justelvis

Hi there

I just wanted to highlight this Aspeger's workshop taking place in London next month.

It's a group support and therapy session for NT partners of Asperger spouses.

The focuse is on helping the NT partner learn more about Aspergers and just how hard life can be for both the NT partner and the partner with Asperger's in an adult relationship.

Here's some feedback from the first session:

'Fab idea, fab location fab support network - all round fabness! Feedback for Krish - what an amazing man - loved his calmness and everything he said added up and was spot on.' 
'I found it very helpful and useful, Count me in for the next one...'
'It was great meeting other people in a similar situation and to be able to share our stories and concerns. I think Krish is a very patient and considered speaker. Personally it was good to hear that I need not feel so responsible for my husband's emotions and actions...'

  • I think it can only be a positive thing to learn about it and get support at the same time.

    If you are NT and are livng with someone with Aspergers and don't understand what causes problems, then learning more about Asperger's can only be benefical and positive for both partners.  Especially as the NT often has to change the way they react to certain behaviour traits and undertsand that they are not always responsible for how their partner feels.
