I currently
offer sex and intimacy counseling for individuals and couples dealing with Asperger's Syndrome, drawing from training in Clinical
Sexology, practices adapted from Tantra, somatic bodywork, sensory integration awareness, and other proven approaches. TIAS
Project counseling acknowledges the differences between the Asperger Syndrome and neurotypical expectations of intimacy and
relationship, working toward practical methods of facilitating greater understanding between neuro-diverse partners.
New! Results are in for the 2007 Survey on Asperger's
Syndrome and Sexuality.
The study was designed and conducted by Amy Marsh
of TIAS Project and Nectar & Flame Consulting.

People with Asperger's Syndrome typically have difficulties with conventional
approaches to social and intimate relationships, and may also have problems interpreting some verbal and non-verbal communication
and the "unwritten rules" of human interaction. While this can often cause misunderstanding in relationships, TIAS Project
is convinced that neuro-appropriate education in sexuality, intimacy and relationship dynamics can mitigate many problems
in intimate partnerships, and lead to a more fullfilling experience of companionship for all concerned.
A note about the term "Aspie:" We use this word sometimes as it is shorter, and feels less formal than "person with
AS" or "person on the Asperger's Syndrome spectrum," etc. This is a term used by many "Aspies" themselves, but some people
may not like it. We apologize if our use of it gives offense to some people or seems "too cute." We are also mindful of the
dangers of defining people strictly by their neurodiverse characteristics, or as society would have it, their "disability."
