Synopsis

Positive, practical and realistic, this book offers a wealth of information on women, dating and relationships for men with Asperger Syndrome (AS).
Many AS men are totally confused and bewildered by women and relationships and find it hard to know what to do, what to say and how to get it right. For these men, understanding the emotional side to relationships and women's needs can be a complete mystery and they often get it disastrously wrong. This practical handbook provides the answers to Asperger men's most frequently asked questions about women, dating and relationships, helping them to understand the way relationships work and increasing their confidence and ability to have successful relationships.
This comprehensive handbook is essential reading for men with Asperger Syndrome (and their partners). It will also be of immeasurable use to counsellors and other professionals working with such individuals.

I think the only thing this book didn't cover is how to bring up AS to someone you've started dating.

This, among other things, might be what's w......more

As a male Aspie married to a very NS woman, I found this book extremely insightful. For me it provided clear explanations for why she and I interpret the same set of events in very different ways, and the problems that this difference often produces. As far as I’m concerned Maxine Aston’s description......more

I finally know why I was finding it so difficult to "own my ADHD/Autism" "Everything seemed OK until they returned home, when Mary went absolutely mad at him, saying she would never ever take him anywhere again and that she had never felt so humiliated in her life. John said he could not get a word......more

It is not an in depth look into AS or relationships. Why the three star......more
