Close and personal relationships have the potential to offer meaning and fulfillment, however for those who are in partnership with someone who has Asperger’s or similar traits, can make emotional and physical intimacy challenging. Perspective taking and communication are key elements in mutually supportive relationships. There are times when relationships become more stressed such as with the birth of a child or when a significant life change takes place. When these disparities are clearly identified and perspectives understood, mutual respect and flexible thinking can be established. Through individual, couples, and group counseling we look to support you and your partner flourish and grow.
Organization skills can be challenging for individual with high functioning autism, we look to support those who are in college or the workforce maximize their strengths by developing resources to compensate for struggles with time management and planning.
