Through discussion, lecture and case studies, this workshop will examine:

  • What is meant by Autistic spectrum disorder.
  • The effect of Alexithymia and lack of theory of mind.
  • The effect of sensory sensitivity on individuals with Asperger syndrome.
  • How one might recognise someone with Asperger syndrome in practice.
  • Ways of working with individuals with Asperger syndrome.
  • The effect of Asperger syndrome upon family members and particularly the couple relationship.
  • Ways of working with couples where one partner has AS.
  • Differences between males and females presenting with the syndrome.
