We hope this is helpful. Please be aware that due to the enormous number of requests for information we receive daily we are unable to provide more individualised advice than this. If you do wish for an individualised consultation you may book email or telephone during business hours (9.00 am - 5.00pm Australian Eastern Standard time). We can arrange for telephone consultations. If you choose this method it would be best to provide a list of questions for the session prior to the session, so that our consultant (all psychologists) can research for you if needed. Our fee structure is on this page.

We wish you all the very best for the future.

Sex education

Dr. Isabelle Henault: Book: Asperger's Syndrome and Sexuality: From Adolescence Through Adulthood

Playing the dating game is often tricky: all the more so for individuals with Asperger’s Syndrome. How do AS adolescents and their families cope with sexual feelings and behaviour? How can a man with AS be helped not to overstep the mark in expressing his sexuality? How do people with AS deal with intimacy and communication in sexual relationships? In the first part of this unique guide, Isabelle Hénault provides practical information and advice on issues ranging from puberty, sexual development and gender identity disorders to couples therapy and maintaining sexual boundaries. A comprehensive sex education programme for those with AS, comprising workshops and activities for the development of sociosexual skills, makes up the second part of the book. This is a much-needed resource for parents, teachers, counsellors and individuals with AS themselves.
