I really enjoyed reading The Asperger Love Guide and will be recommending the book to my clients′ – Professor Tony Attwood `This is the first book I′ve read in a long time that, once started, I couldn′t put down until it was finished. It is an exceptionally good read. The 77 pages are written succinctly with no waffle - just straight to the point. I will definitely buy a copy of this book for the whole family to use! I will use it to guide Joe (my 17 year old Asperger son) when he′s ready for it. It′s not a book he would read himself; in fact I read the section "the merits of single life" out loud to him a bit like a bed time story′ - Action for ASD ′There is a great need for more awareness of Asperger syndrome and how it affects personal relationships.

The issues are discussed openly and logically and the advice given is both sympathetic and very matter of fact... The book breaks down the social, emotional and practical aspects of relationships so usefully that it is a good resource for teachers and others working with neurotypical individuals. Infact the book so sensibly discusses pitfalls, strategies and individual responsibilities that it would be valuable reading for teenagers generally as well as for individuals with Asperger syndrome′ - British Journal of Special Education Material based on the experiences of the people on the Autistic Spectrum is usually written by neurotypical writers.

This is shown in a number of case studies that support the elements described in each chapter. They write in a clear, accessible and non-patronizing way which will suit their audience. This will prove to be an invaluable book to those with Asperger′s or those that support Asperger people.

He runs a successful UK-based website for adults with Asperger Syndrome and hosts real-life meet-ups around the UK for its members.
