Aircraft
During initial climb; shortly after slat retraction with autopilot #2 on; the airplane yawed hard to the right.  The autopilot compensated with spoilers 7; 6; and 5 extended and 6 units to the left.  The Captain then assumed control of the airplane.  After consulting the QRH; the Captain elected to declare an emergency and return for an overweight landing.
ON climb from ZZZZ with the autopilot #2 on and after slat retraction the aircraft yawed hard to the right. The autopilot compensated hard to the left with six units of aileron. We received no ECAM or flight control malfunction fault lights. Leveled off and I took control of the airplane. We noticed spoilers 7;6;5 were up. I disconnected the autopilot and shortly after the spoilers went down but the airplane felt like an out of trim condition with 4 units of left aileron still showing. I could still move the controls so after consulting the QRH we decided to declare an emergency and return for an overweight landing.
During initial climb with autopilot engaged; an Airbus flight crew experiences a hard right yaw which the autopilot compensates for with left aileron trim. The aircraft was leveled and it was noted that spoilers 7; 6 and 5 were up. The autopilot is disengaged and shortly after the spoiler panels retract and the flight returns to the departure airport.
