Partners' support group
What is this?
Think your partner may be autistic?
Do you struggle with communication, misunderstanding, emotional connection, workload sharing, social events, etc?
Don’t struggle alone.
We support you by listening, believing and offering tools and strategies to help you understand how your partner ticks and how to nurture a stronger relationship.
Come to our friendly evening support group for a cuppa & chat.
Our meetings are specifically for the partner of an autistic person, rather than the autistic partner, and regardless of whether they have a diagnosis or not.
Those attending must be members of the NAS South Hampshire Branch. Membership of our branch is free (a form can be downloaded from our website).
We ask for a £1 contribution towards the cost of these meetings, payable at the door. Free refreshments are available.
