‘The Asperger Love Guide is recommended reading for those with Asperger’s syndrome who are seeking or within a relationshipThe 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. It is an exceptionally good read. The 77 pages are written succinctly with no waffle - just straight to the point.
I will definitely buy a copy of this book for the whole family to use! I will use it to guide Joe (my 17 year old Asperger son) when he′s ready for it. It′s not a book he would read himself; in fact I read the section "the merits of single life" out loud to him a bit like a bed time story′ - Action for ASD
′This book sets out some helpful facts about relationships in a neat, simple form′ - Asperger United
