About this work

Description

"Comprised of the accounts of twelve heterosexual couples in which the male is on the autism spectrum, this book invites both partners to discuss their own perspectives of different key issues, including anxiety, empathy, employment and socializing. Autism expert Tony Attwood contributes a commentary and a question and answer section for each of the twelve accounts. The first book of its kind to provide perspectives from both sides of a relationship on a variety of different topics, Neurodiverse Relationships is the perfect companion for couples in neurodiverse relationships who are trying to understand one another better."--From publisher.
