‘The Asperger Love Guide is recommended reading for those with Asperger’s syndrome who are seeking or within a relationship. The authors provide a clear explanation of how the characteristics of Asperger’s syndrome can affect the development of a relationship and the expression of love. They then provide sound practical advice for individuals and couples. I really enjoyed reading The Asperger Love Guide and will be recommending the book to my clients’ – Professor Tony Attwood `This is the first book I′ve read in a long time that, once started, I couldn′t put down until it was finished.

I will use it to guide Joe (my 17 year old Asperger son) when he′s ready for it.
