The Sydney-based support group Aspia Partner Support is holding it's next lunch get-together on Saturday 15th August 2026. Email or message me for details.

Over the last couple of years our partner support group ASPIA has undergone some changes. We are now operating under the name Aspia Partner Support and we have a new and updated website at www.aspiapartnersupport.com.au

If you have a partner who you believe has the characteristics of Autism Spectrum/Neurodivergence we have articles, professional recommendations, links, a book list, etc. We also meet for lunch every three months in Sydney.

A place for validation, information, inspiration, mutual acknowledgement and understanding for those who are in a long-term relationship with a neurodivergent adult (formerly Asperger Syndrome, formally Autism Spectrum Disorder/ASD).

Talking with others who've lived the experience provides much needed "validation", the process of restoring confidence in one's own perception of their experience and personal truth. Sanity saving and stabilizing, opens the door for the possibility of personal healing and the recovery of strength to make decisions and move forward.
