Asperger Syndrome (AS) has often been considered to be incompatible with love and relationships, but as the number of diagnoses increases, it is becoming apparent that people with AS can and do have full and intimate relationships. Maxine Aston frankly examines the fundamental aspects of relationships that are often complicated by the disorder. Illustrated with real-life examples, the book tackles issues such as attraction, trust, communication, intimacy and parenting and includes a section on frequently asked questions, making it a must for all those with AS and their partners, as well as for friends, family and counselors.

April 24, 2006: After eight frustrating months in a relationship with an 'Aspi' I finally was directed to this book. So many questions were answered and I developed a new understanding of this man I loved. Our relationship has become stronger and deeper with this understanding. It is a must read for the non-aspi and definitely a read for the aspi partner. It allowed open communication in a non-threatening way. I highly recommend it.
