Maxine Aston, author of Aspergers in Love, has created this workbook to help couples deal with some of the difficulties that may arise. Combining useful advice with practical activities and worksheets, the book explores a variety of approaches that couples can use. Whilst acknowledging that all relationships are different, the author identifies the key issues that can be problematic, such as verbal and non-verbal Communication, sexual issues, socialising and parenting, and suggests simple and effective ways of addressing them. This book is designed for use by couples and families affected by AS, and will also be of interest to couples counsellors, or other professionals working with people with AS. Maxine Aston is a qualified counsellor and supervisor and presents Asperger Syndrome awareness workshops to counsellors and professionals who may encounter clients affected by AS. She also runs workshops and support groups for partners and parents that live with a person with AS. Maxine has an MSc in Health Psychology and is the author of The Other Half of Asperger Syndrome (NAS) and Aspergers in Love (Jessica Kingsley Publishers). She is a regular speaker at national and international ASD conferences.
