ASPIE aims to reduce isolation, self-harm and suicidal tendencies for adults with Asperger’s. Everyone at ASPIE either has Asperger’s or is connected to someone with Asperger’s. We all live with the condition 24 hours a day and with our accumulated knowledge and expertise have become the Go-To place with approx 300 hits a week on our website. These result in emails and ‘phone calls from potential members, distressed parents, health professionals and teachers from all over the UK. A ‘phone conversation or visit from the distraught parent of an aspie can take more than an hour, allowing them to express their personal heartache and worries, usually for the first time to someone who actually listens, understands and gives them reassurance and hope towards building better family relationships.
If you have concerns about your Asperger family member, perhaps at your wits-end and in need of support and advice please get in touch. With referrals for diagnosis going through the roof and health inequalities worsening, we are buckling under the weight of the need for our services. If you are able to make a donation for any help received it will contribute to improving the quality of life of Asperger adults.
