Read this book!

I'm in the middle of a diagnosis, I just recently realized what's really been going on in my life. I wanted to read this before sharing with my partner. I think everything she talks about is spot on! Definitely recommend!

A read worth your while.

Distilling human experience is impossible. This book lays out theory of what may or may not be beneficial for either partner in navigating relationships. It's a heartfelt personal experience offering wonderful insight. It won't answer 22 questions, but it sheds light on where to find joy with the one you love.

I didn’t even know that I needed this! Read it!

Whether you are the Aspie girl or their partner- read this! I didn’t even know how to articulate some of the things I encounter as a late diagnosed Aspie girl. I was worried I would not apply to me as I am in a same-sex marriage however, it applies to both genders excellently. I have never read Rudy’s work before, but I am grateful and thankful and cannot wait to continue my journey. Thank you Rudy!!!

A must-read!

Extremely helpful, easy to understand, and explains all the things I was unable to in a way allistic (non-autistic) partners of autistic people can understand. The information is valuable no matter your gender or sexuality. Although through term “Asperger’s” is outdated, the information in this book is still extremely relevant and shouldn’t be passed over. Extremely glad I bought this. Well worth the price and more.

Packed with perspective!

After a late diagnosis with Asperger’s one of my biggest challenges is explaining how I am effected on a day to day basis. It’s also become quite obvious most people don’t have any real understanding of Asperger’s or Autism. This book is a great guide to getting a bit more understanding of your aspie loved one. Some parts of the book made me cry because I just felt so seen and understood. I would highly recommend.
