Description

For adults with Asperger Syndrome (AS) and their non-spectrum partners, navigating relationships can be challenging. This supportive guide offers practical advice and insights into understanding AS/NS relationships. Drawing on interviews with over 100 people in these relationships, as well as the authors' own experiences, the book explores key differences that may impact on AS/NS partnerships, such as communication, social skills, and sensory issues. It also provides tried-and-tested strategies for coping with stress and meltdowns, parenting, and making the most of positive AS qualities. This book will provide valuable support and guidance for those in a relationship with someone who has been diagnosed with AS or is suspected of having AS, as well as counsellors and other professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of these relationships.
