Press Reviews
Eva A. Mendes, author of Marriage and Lasting Relationships with Asperger’s Syndrome for The New Autistic Couple's Workbook
Every day I hear from either the ASD or non-ASD partner asking me what to do and what strategies to apply in their relationships. Chock-full of practical tips and perceptive illustrations, Maxine's book has long been a go-to resource for me as a clinician and a trusted companion to so many couples around the world and this updated edition is even better!
Joanna Pike, founder of Different Together and author of Neurodiverse Relationships
Full of practical advice and insights this book will undoubtedly be of help to couples negotiating the unique challenges when one partner is on the autism spectrum.
