 22 Things a Woman Must Know If She Loves a Man with Asperger’s Syndrome
(Jessica Kingsley Publishers, London)
“There are many books that have been written about being in a relationship with a man with AS, but I have found none to be as insightful, accurate and understanding of both perspectives as this book by Rudy Simone. Each section of the book says it just the way it is; it is realistic, positive and unbiased.”
-- Maxine Aston, from the Foreword, author of The Other Half of Asperger Syndrome, Aspergers in Love and The Asperger Couples Workbook
Reader Reviews:
"I just wanted to write to you to thank you for your book "22 Things". I received my copy yesterday and could not put it down. I read two-thirds of it in my lunch break and finished it on the train home. I have been married to an undiagnosed Aspie for years but also have two Aspie sons. Reading your book was like reading a description of my life! Every aspect was there in black and white...reading your book helped me to lose some of the guilt I have felt...Your book will help me to keep a level head and understand my "men". I will carry it with my always - it will become my "bible". Thank you again - I feel you have saved my life - I am on a support network for anyone affected by Asperger Syndrome and I have recommended your book to everyone!"
"I am the wife of a man who was just diagnosed with Asperger's. Reading your book (22 things) has been like reading a book someone wrote about him. I finally feel like screaming "YES, THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IS GOING ON!' Thank you for writing the book. At least now I don't feel so alone."
"If you love an Aspie, you owe it to yourself to read this book, whether the Aspie you love was diagnosed years ago, recently, or has yet to be diagnosed. Every word in it rings true, and is useful. The author is clinically precise in her descriptions of the drawbacks and advantages of loving a man who is also an Aspie, wonderfully complex and maddening at the same time. She also gives good advice about taking care of your own needs, which you must do, as it is essential to take care of yourself when the the maddening aspects occur (and they will). I wish I had read it years ago." (from the book's reader reviews on Amazon)
"You hit the nail on the head in every chapter!" - Craig Evans, founder of AutismHangout.com
Although having Asperger Syndrome (AS) can make romantic relations difficult, having a fulfilling relationship with an Asperger man is certainly not impossible.
Rudy Simone explores the complications of Asperger's relationships with honesty and understanding, drawing on research and personal experience to inform and advise women with AS partners. She offers helpful tips for improving the relationship and finding fulfillment both individually and as a couple.
This book will help women to understand the male Asperger's mind and, equally, it can help men with AS to see things from their partner's perspective. It will also be of interest to counsellors working with couples where the male partner has Asperger's Syndrome.
