Asperger Syndrome (AS) can affect some of the fundamental ingredients required to make a relationship work, such as emotional empathy and communication. Maxine Aston has created this workbook to help couples where one of the partners has AS deal with the difficulties that may arise in their relationship. With advice, activities and example worksheets, the book explores a variety of approaches that couples can use to counteract these difficulties. The author identifies specific issues that can be problematic in an Asperger relationship, such as verbal and non-verbal communication, sexual issues, socializing and parenting, and explains simple and effective ways of addressing these issues.

Maxine Aston is a counsellor and supervisor in the UK.
