About this listen

A look at how to overcome common difficulties and maintain a loving relationship with an AS partner.

Although having Asperger syndrome (AS) can make romantic relations difficult, having a fulfilling relationship with an Asperger man is certainly not impossible. A woman in love with a man with AS may interpret his difficulties with communication and socialisation as a lack of interest in the relationship. He may vacillate between being gentle and caring to seeming cold and distant. She may find his behaviour hard to understand, resulting in feelings of loneliness, isolation and confusion. This book shows how to overcome these difficulties and maintain a loving relationship with an AS partner.

From an unwillingness to show affection in public or even sleep in the same bed to problems holding down a job, this book looks at 22 common traits that women may discover when they are dating, living with or married to a man with Asperger's syndrome. Rudy Simone explores the complications of Asperger's relationships with honesty and understanding, drawing on research and personal experience to inform and advise women with AS partners. She offers helpful tips for improving the relationship and finding fulfilment both individually and as a couple.

This book will help women to understand the male Asperger's mind and, equally, it can help men with AS to see things from their partner's perspective. It will also be of interest to counsellors working with couples where the male partner has Asperger's syndrome.

Brief and helpful

The book is very informative and insightful, but one of the later chapters ended without being completed.

Good ideas, but overly brief

While the author does preface her content with an explanation that the generalizations don’t apply to everyone, I felt more depth could make it more applicable to a variety of circumstances. Some of this was useful for me, some not.

Truly amazing

This publication is well read and the accent of the reader is quite nice. The text is amazingly informative and is quite supportive of developing a deeper understanding for both partners.

Changed my Life

I have been married to a wonderful man with Asperger’s syndrome for 10 years. The last couple years, my self-esteem has definitely taken a hit because I have forgotten all that goes with being in love with someone with AS. It isn’t me! And it’s not all him either. What a wonderful handbook. Also, I would highly recommend any young woman who may be dating a gentleman with Asperger’s syndrome read this before making a commitment. The good news is, it made me fall in love with him all over again.

The book is only half right about ASP men.

It was a little helpful explaining things to me about my fiance. I think half of the stuff in the book sounds and is nothing like my fiance.

True insight

Truly understanding that some of the burro issues that one may have is really just that and is not personal

Hits the nail on the head.

I didn’t realize I had AS until I was much older and boy if all of these issues aren’t exactly me. Really enlightening and well read without being overly wordy. Gets to the point and offers suggestions.
