Troubleshooting Relationships on the Autism Spectrum Reviews

An excellent reference for any who would handle the dual challenges of a relationship and autism. -- Midwest Book Review
Too many variables, Ashley Stanford's husband declares about relationships in her opening paragraph of this different and very comprehensive manual to maintaining an autism spectrum relationship. He's so right! This guide takes those variables back to their individual components and helps the reader construct new ways to look and deal with issues that AS couples experience every single day. A thought-provoking book for couples and the professionals who work with them. -- Sarah Hendrickx, Hendrickx Associates, freelance trainer, and consultant in autism spectrum conditions, author of several books on Asperger syndrome
