We help people with Asperger’s Syndrome find balance on the sharp knife-edge between creating an independent life and a dependent one: small effects can tip you over one side or the other.

Over the last 20 years I have seen many families as they grow up together, trying to understand and support the person with Asperger’s, holding all the usual hopes, bearing more than the usual disappointments and confusion, taking responsibility. In my work I am looking for the way to tip people over into independence and autonomy rather than the usual problems of anxiety, dependence and powerlessness.

People with Asperger's often face similar problems, such as:

• Learning to live away from their parents
• Building and maintaining relationships
• Feelings of anger, depression and anxiety
• Changing habits such as compulsive behaviour, diet, sleep and activity.

Coaching is designed to help the family and the individual support the person in overcoming these problems and build a satisfactory life.

This section of the website is intended to lay out the pros and cons of the available choices and to help you to decide what is best in your particular case. There are very few well accepted ways of helping someone with Asperger’s move forward. Coaching is designed very specifically around the needs of families living with Asperger’s, and in many ways it compares well against the other choices. However, it is not the only choice, neither is it always the correct one.
