Narrative:
At FL350 we got a standby pitot ECAM; followed later by left/G shock abs fault ECAM. Very shortly after; we lost both flight directors; both autopilots; and auto thrust. After consulting with [maintenance] and dispatch; we could not do anything to reset our systems. The forecast in [destination] was for possible windshear. I determined with my first officer the best possible solution was to divert to [a suitable alternate] with clear VFR and low wind. After lowering the landing gear; systems all reset. Performed a normal landing.
