ASPIRES is an on-line
resource for spouses and family members of adults diagnosed or
suspected to be on the autistic spectrum. Our approach to one
another and towards our "significant others" is directed towards
solving problems in our relationship with a spectrum-sitting
spouse.
ASPIRES is an e-mail
subscription list for individuals with AS, and those who have a
parent, spouse, or child with AS. We share our family and
relational experiences, resources and survival tips as well as offer
encouragement and hope. Through sharing, we hope to lighten
one another's burdens and find positive solutions to many of the
troubling challenges that characterize our relationships and bridge
the communication gap that exists in everyday life.

Understanding Asperger Syndrome: A
Professor’s Guide
College can be a trying time in any individual's life. For adults
with Asperger Syndrome this experience can be overwhelming. This
title in the new DVD series Asperger Syndrome and Adulthood focuses
on educating professors, teaching assistants, and others on what it
means to be a college student on the spectrum and how they might
best be able to help them succeed.
Love and Asperger's syndrome
He's gentle, unworldly, highly attentive
and charmingly old-fashioned. The
catch? The very things that make Keith so attractive to Sarah are
symptoms of Asperger's. Anna Moore meets the couples living with
this surprisingly common condition Sarah Hendrickx and Keith
Newton sit tilted towards one other, laughing a lot and disappearing
down the occasional alley of in-jokes, as couples do when they're
still in that early, besotted stage.
