Download PDF The Asperger Love Guide A practical guide for adults with Asperger’s syndrome to seeking, establishing and maintaining successful relationships by Genevieve Edmonds

Sinopsis

So you’re an adult with a diagnosis of Asperger ’s syndrome, or you may suspect that you have Asperger ’s syndrome. You may have been told that AS is a disorder of social communication, interaction, imagination and hence a deficit in the ability to form and maintain relationships, especially romantic relationships. You may know this from your own experience, you may feel that everyone else seems to have successful relationships and can’t work out why not you? You may feel that you would be capable of having a relationship, but just don’t know how to go about it. If any of this sounds familiar, this guide is for you. This guide aims to dispel the myth that adults with AS cannot or will always struggle to have successful relationships in adulthood. The guide aims to empower AS adults with the knowledge and skills to get on the way to having happy and successful relationships.

The guide does not make distinctions in culture, sexuality, race, gender, social class and so on. It is written from the point of view of a heterosexual relationship as this is from our own personal experience. However, the tips and strategies are aimed at a relationship non-specific to any of the differentiations as outlined. It is designed to be written in the style of a ‘friend to a friend’ from the AS point of view. We are not psychologists or relationship experts. The advice given in the book is aimed as self-help support to other Aspies, but is not guaranteed to give 100% success. It does, however, aim to help fellow adult Aspies on their way to successful love lives.
