 Chris and Gisela have been partners for twelve years. Five years ago Chris was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. For Chris, this was an explanation of why he had always regarded himself as 'socially handicapped'. For Gisela, it meant coming to terms with a marriage in which there would never be an intuitive understanding despite Chris's good intentions. For the couple it was the beginning of a long and still unfinished process of learning to live with a disability regarded by some as incompatible with marriage.This book is the first to examine a successful marriage from both perspectives and provides knowledge that will be of value, not only to similar couples and individuals with Asperger syndrome who are considering a relationship, but also the organizations that support relationships.--from the Foreword by Tony Attwood This book is the first of its kind and is an essential read for couples, parents and professionals involved or interested in gaining a deeper understanding into the uncharted territory of Asperger marriages.--Maxine Aston, trainer and couples counsellor specializing in relationships affected by Asperger syndrome and author of The Other Half of Asperger syndrome.
