[Guest guest]

Hi Kirsten,

I'm flagging up in this post as she and Meyer regularly converse and

they may be aware of an upcoming conference near you where a segment is

dedicated to partners and families of autistics. This does look like a good

conference though. Thank you for bringing it to our attention. I will post the

link for others.

when things are going wrong in our marriage. I don't look at aspergers as just

his problem, it is our families problem. Something that me, as the wife, need

help with dealing with him. I need to learn tools in advance that I can have at

my access to pull out and try - and things to work on and know in advance to

possibly help things not hit the fan.

wife/partner to AS relationship. They have a parent to child sessions, dealing

with the siblings, father's of children with aspergers, etc, etc.

with asperger part? How would you go about bringing this to their awareness?
