Delyth Report post Posted July 23, 2009 Hello everyone After two years of trying to get funding for counselling support for my husband (AS) our local authority agreed to fund 3 months' worth at the end of last year. That funding ended 6 months ago and he then applied for further funding. We have just heard from our local authority that they are going to fund a further 6 months of counselling support. And the best bit is that they recommend counselling for the whole family: "the approach taken should include the entire family as there are marked advantages when interventions for individuals with Asperger's syndrome include family members" I am so happy that they have recognised this need because it really is such a struggle at times for all of us - not just myself and my husband, but our children too. Hooray! Dare I hope that the struggles of partners/spouses and other supportive family members are finally being acknowledged? I do hope so. Best wishes to everyone Delyth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
