From the foreword by Tony Attwood:


"While we have considerable literature to help couples where a male partner has the characteristics of Asperger’s syndrome, this is the first book to describe, explore and provide hope and practical advice for a relationship where a woman has these characteristics. Rudy Simone boldly goes where no author has gone before with insight and enterprise. This book will revive and rescue relationships."

Other endorsements:
"In her inimitably warm, witty, and disarming style, Rudy Simone casts light on what you need to know about having a relationship with a woman on the spectrum. One of the most damaging stereotypes of autistic people is that they are uninterested in or incapable of intimacy, and Simone demolishes that stereotype while offering practical, down-to-Earth tips that will help you navigate the nuances of forging a lasting relationship with an 'Aspergirl.' Addressing everything from sex, to sensory issues, to emotional vulnerability, to giving and receiving criticism in a caring and safe way, Simone offers a helpful road map that will help you avoid potential pitfalls with the one you love and start building a life of closeness, passion, and honesty together." -- Steve Silberman, contributing editor of Wired magazine and neurodiversity blogger for the Public Library of Science
