A group-based education program for people with Asperger’s Syndrome
People with Asperger’s Syndrome (AS) have the same sexual needs and concerns, and are as diverse in their sexuality as the general population. However, adolescents and adults with AS can be different in terms of their ability to ‘read’ and understand the subtle and complex thoughts and emotions of people they engage with.
Individuals with AS can also struggle to effectively communicate their own inner thoughts and feelings.
Nice to Meet Me is designed for people living with AS to improve the quality of their life and their intimate relationships.
The program focuses on:
Identifying your emotions and the emotions of others
Recognising values with respect to love, friendship and sexuality
Applying the concept of consent
Discussing appropriate behaviours for private and public places
Determining various aspects of sexual relations
Improving communication skills
Sessions: 7 x 2 hour group sessions on a weekly basis plus 3 individual counselling sessions by appointment
Commences Wednesday 17 February 2021 for seven consecutive week.
Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm and
Where: Belconnen Community Centre, Belconnen.
NDIS Categories Applicable: Improved Daily Living Skills and Increased Social and Community Participation
Cost: NDIS capped maximum cost $2045; NON-NDIS $2250 (GST included)
