Asperger Syndrome Relationships
All relationships can be difficult, regardless of whether either or both partners are affected by Asperger Syndrome, but there are particular issues that the condition seems to bring to a relationship – for both partners. We provide a range of flexible support and awareness raising to help both partners to understand each other better and find ways to a happy relationship.
Initial Exploration of Asperger Syndrome in your Relationship
For those who think that they may be in an Asperger Syndrome Relationship,
we provide Initial Exploration sessions. This is an informal and relaxed
meeting with plenty of opportunity for asking questions and learning
about Asperger Syndrome. This is for people who are just beginning
to explore the presence of Asperger Syndrome in their relationship
and is not counselling. These sessions are carried out by Sarah Hendrickx,
partner of Keith Newton, who has Asperger Syndrome - co-authors of
Asperger Syndrome - A Love Story (Jessica Kingsley Publishers, 2007).
Costs: £80 (2 hours). These sessions take place
in Hove, East Sussex.
Living with Asperger Syndrome - Partners' Workshop
This workshop is for those who are in a relationship with someone

similar relationships, share experiences, laugh, learn more about
your partner (and perhaps yourself) and find ways to move forward
in a positive way.
