ASPERGERS IN LOVE Couple Relationships and Family Affairs.
	Maxine Aston is probably the only professional currently working as a counsellor and researcher in the field of relationships in which one partner has Asperger Syndrome, and so she is uniquely placed to write this book... not only does she make clear the difficulties that both partners in such a relationship experience, she also suggests strategies for dealing with them... Read this book and breathe a sigh of relief that there is really someone who does understand the impact of Asperger Syndrome on both partners in a "mixed marriage." Taken from the Forward by Gisela and Chris Slater-Walker. Synopsis Asperger syndrome (AS) has often been considered to be incompatible with love and relationships, but as the number of people who are diagnosed with the disorder increases, it is becoming apparent that people with AS can and do have full and intimate relationships. Comparing and contrasting both AS and non-AS partners' viewpoints, this book frankly examines the fundamental aspects of relationships that are often complicated by the disorder. With all findings illustrated with case examples taken from interviews conducted with couples, the author tackles issues such as attraction, trust, communication, sex and intimacy, and parenting. Drawing on her extensive research and established career as a Relate counsellor, Maxine Aston has produced a much-needed analysis of intimate relationships where one adult has AS and this book is a must for all those with AS and their partners, as well as for friends, family and counsellors.

THE OTHER HALF OF ASPERGER SYNDROME
	Written as a guide to living in an intimate relationship with a partner who has Asperger syndrome. Published last year by the National Autistic Society and now in its second edition. This book has shown to be a valuable guide to couples living in a relationship when one or both are affected by Asperger Syndrome. The forward written by Dr Tony Attwood states:- Maxine Aston has explored the relationships of adults with Asperger syndrome as part of her academic research, as a qualified couple counsellor specializing in this area, and from her own personal relationship experience. She knows what she is talking about. She uses quotations and real examples to illustrate her points giving guidance to couples with a compassionate understanding of both perspectives. Her insight is extraordinary and her positive attitude and strategies for successful relationships make this an essential guide for couples and counsellors.
