Support for Significant
Others
AS and Their Partners
This is a semi-private forum for people with Asperger's Syndrome (or those with related issues) and their Partners to try to learn from each other how to cope, support and to better our relationships. Whether it's marital, girl/boyfriend, parent/child, siblings, co-workers or just friendships all related topics are welcome!
This place is here to deal with the things that make our relationships difficult and to try to see what we can do to overcome our differences. It's also a place for us to have fun and celebrate the good things that make our relationships so unique!
Both the forum and website are free. The Forum requires a username and password setup with Delphi Forums, which offers a free membership.. and that free membership provides full access to our forum. *Please note, that while Delphi Forums has a free subscription, they inundate their free subscribers with ads hoping that you'll get sick of the inconvenience and eventually will prefer to pay a fee and upgrade, but the people that run this actual forum seem to be really good folks.

AS/HFA Marriages
This group is for much the same purposes as the AS/HFA Couples above,
except it's exclusively for married couples. This way if any marrieds
feel more comfortable being in a more exclusive group, they have this
option. To access this group go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/joint-AS-HFA-marriages/
ASPIA
or the Asperger Syndrome Partners Information Australia, a wonderful
group in South Australia specifically for significant others of adults
on the spectrum. Go to http://www.aspia.org.au/
ASPIRES LISTSERV (For Spouses and Family Members)
Sponsored by ASPIRES (Asperger Syndrome Partners & Individuals Resources,
Encouragement and Support), an on-line resource for spouses and family
members of adults diagnosed or suspected to be on the autistic spectrum.
The approach of this group is directed towards solving problems in relationships.
The listserv is a closed, subscription list hosted by FEAT. The list is
owned and administered by Linda Newland. Email her at OPU@PEAK.org. Individuals
wishing to join must contact Linda with introductory information and use
their own names and true addresses. Applicants must agree to ASPIRES membership
terms and conditions. The URL for ASPIRES is: http://www.aspires-relationships.com/
The ASCEND Group Spouses & Partners
On-line community-based support for spouses and partners of someone who
has Asperger's Syndrome or related diagnoses . Members help each other
come to terms with AS and the impact on their marriage and family through
education, understanding, validation and emotional support. Interactions
take place within a context of learning, healing and exploring creative
solutions to real time issues. Our intention is to ultimately enhance
the quality of life for the family as a whole. We are a support chapter
within The ASCEND Group (www.ascendgroup.org)
serving families who are dealing with the Autistic Spectrum in the Greater
Philadelphia / Tri-State area. Many of our "spouse/partner"
group members are from this area and meet in person from time to time.
However, membership currently includes and is open to those nationally
and internationally. One's spouse or partner does not need to have had
a professional diagnosis in order for you to join the group.
For more information, contact the group moderator, Tina Caterino at tcaterino2@gmail.com
or 610-994-5760.
Sadly, the last listing went dead. We're keeping this section
open. Hoping...
