Fwd: Seeking Tips from and for AS and NT Partners for the AANE Journal fall issue

[Guest guest]

I'm forwarding this to the list in case anyone would like to take part.For those of you who haven't heard of AANE, they are one of the largest Aspergers organizations in the world and, in my opinion, one of the best. They are pro-AS, and many of their employees and board members have AS. They run classes, seminars, and social events for kids and adults, maintain a large library and can refer people to AS-savvy therapists.--LizBegin forwarded message:Date: August 23, 2012 11:17:40 AM EDTSubject: Seeking Tips from and for AS and NT Partners for the AANE Journal fall issueDear Members of the AANE Community of Spouses and Partners: For an article in the fall issue of the AANE Journal, I would love to hear, separately, from married/partnered adults with Asperger Syndrome (AS), and from their neurotypical (NT = non-AS) spouses/partners, about what has been most helpful in maintaining or improving your marriage or relationship with each other. What tips or advice would you give to members of other couples, perhaps especially those who are new to understanding the impact of Asperger’s on the relationship?

Liz Does AANE maintain any kind of list of out of area AS-savvy therapists for people not living in New England? ~ "Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal."--Albert Camus Sent from my VZW BlackBerrySender: aspires-relationships Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2012 11:40:54 -0400To: <aspires-relationships >ReplyTo: aspires-relationships Subject: Fwd: Seeking Tips from and for AS and NTPartners for the AANE Journal fall issue I'm forwarding this to the list in case anyone would like to take part.For those of you who haven't heard of AANE, they are one of the largest Aspergers organizations in the world and, in my opinion, one of the best.
