    Situation

    ASpire currently provides mentoring support for adults with Asperger Syndrome and those with social skills issues. We support around 42 people and are up to capacity. A number of thse individuals have other issues that cannot be supported by a volunteer mentor and require more in-depth support from a qualified counsellor. Knowledge of Asperger Syndrome is essential as standard counselling services often do not umderstand the unique world view of those with autistic conditions. We would like to employ a qualified, specialist Asperger Syndrome counsellor to run this service. This person would be properly trained and externally supervised in line with BACP recommemdations. Costs for this service are in the region of £30,000 in the first year with a slight decrease in subsequent yeara. Your time is appreciated.
