Press Reviews

  • Susanna Todd, Director of Different Together, NT spouse

    This is a revolutionary book: it looks at each issue from the point of view of both AS and NT partners. So both gain, even more with Tony Attwood's comments. It is really really helpful.

  • Maxine Aston, author of The Other Half of Asperger Syndrome, Aspergers in Love and The Asperger Couples Workbook

    One of the most informative, realistic and useful books I have read on the topic of AS/non-AS relationships. This book is totally unique and unlike any other I have read. It offers the reader an insight into both perspectives of an AS/non-AS relationship as both partners share honestly and openly how they experience each other. In addition, Professor Tony Attwood offers his valuable experience, expertise and knowledge explaining and answering questions at the end of each couple section. It is guaranteed that any reader in a similar situation will find themselves identifying with the couples in this superb book. I highly recommend this book for couples, individuals and professionals who work in this area. Well done Joanna for putting this book together and thank you for making me smile with your humorous sketches!

  • Clare Hargrave, Early Childhood Education Specialist, NT spouse

    Finally a perspective on neurodiverse relationship dynamics for yourselves, family and friends! This book gives experiential description showing the impact of the array of inherent differences. I found Tony Attwood's comments at the end of each chapter immensely helpful because they put into context each partner's experience in a meaningful way. Highly recommended!
