\n\n
\n\nOur Presenter will be Dr Nola Norris (Dip Teach, Bed, Med, PhD) who is a long-time ASPIA Member, our Web Developer since 2005, and our in-house Educator.
\n\n
\nTopic: How and why people with Asperger Syndrome think differently: Executive Functions and the Asperger sense of time.
\nNola is an educator whose driving passion is for AS partners to learn the truth about the neurological condition of Asperger’s so that they can understand and better manage the reality of what happens within their own relationships. By developing stronger conceptual understanding, partners can apply this knowledge to make the best decisions for their situation. See March Newsletter for more information.
