NEW ASPERGERS PARTNERS SUPPORT GROUP!

20 replies

AspieGroup · 07/12/2011 12:34

I am a long-term mumsnetter (name changed for this) and I have recently been involved in setting up a new support group for partners of people with Aspergers.

We meet in Halifax, West Yorkshire on the first Friday of each month. You can send me a Private Message (by clicking on my username) for more details.

I know there are lots of Aspie partners on mumsnet so if any of you live up north, you'd be very welcome to join us. :)

I think it's amazing there isn't already a national network of such groups.

You are MILES away from me. Grin

Hi Cussandroid

There are very few groups in the country, I've only heard of them in London, Loughborough and Newcastle so far!

So it's worth people travelling to Halifax if they're near enough. Xmas Smile

There really should be more, though.

Definitely a potential growth area.

Hello!

I don't live up north, but I have a Dh with AS. Our son has a dx of asd though.

Hi eandz

Sorry you're not near enough to join us. There's a long running Aspie Partners support thread with Mrs Asp on here, have you seen it?

Just bumping this cos I was talking about it today....

Hi, Mrsasp here. Glad to see there's a group springing up in Halifax. I go to a great group for NT partners of people with AS here in London. Keeps me sane :-)

It's taken me 30 years to realise I'm an aspie spouse! I'm in the south but would love to share stories/support with other aspie spouses.

Derklugehans · 13/07/2012 23:55

I've PM'd you, Krispy and Shepherd. Smile

KrispyCakehead · 14/07/2012 00:14

Thank you... how fab.. I wasn't holding out much hope from such an ancient thread!

Derklugehans · 14/07/2012 00:19

There's always hope....Grin

You mentioned a group in Loughborough, can you let me have a contact for it?
Many thanks

Have been posting recently her wondering if BF has some qualities of AS. I'm certain he is not EA as has been suggested nor is he a sociopath.

First time posting a link so no idea if it's worked. Soz. x

goodcompany2 · 31/05/2015 17:53

Here not her. Whoops.
