The group of partners dealing with the effects of autism is large. Some worry and feel sad. Others especially feel anger and powerlessness, as they seem to have little influence to change the situation. At the same time, additional demands are placed on them, for example in terms of care, housework and parenting. It is not always easy to know what to do right. The mental health centre regularly runs the Coping with ASD course. Themes of the six meetings are: Characteristics of autism, communication, setting boundaries, relationships out of balance, what does autism do to me, to my family and how do I keep myself going.
