Description

Comparing both AS and non-AS partners' viewpoints, this book frankly examines the aspects of relationships that are often complicated by the disorder. With all findings illustrated with case examples taken from interviews conducted with couples, the author tackles issues such as attraction, trust, communication, sex and intimacy, and parenting.

User reviews

LibraryThing member Lukerik

Forty-one people with Aspergers and thirty-five of their partners were either interviewed by Aston or completed her questionnaire. This book is her report. Fair enough.

She's no great stylist but it's arranged in clear, short chapters with bullet point summaries at the ends. The problem with the

book is Aston's commentary on the responses which is shallow and often consists of press releases from the Department of the Bleeding Obvious.
