This book describes practical counselling practices that will help improve the relationships of married and co-habiting couples where either one or both partners have Asperger''s Syndrome (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Focusing on concrete strategies and step-by-step actions that can be applied in day-to-day living, the author covers all of the challenges that can arise in ASD relationships including issues surrounding diagnosis, mental health, sexual compatibility, sensory needs, executive functioning, theory of mind, communication, and co-parenting.
She includes unique practical ideas such as creating a relationship schedule and engaging in "parallel play" by finding mutually satisfying activities and special interests. The strategies in this book will be useful to couples themselves and any couples counselors and therapists working with them.
