Autism and the Two of Us: How Understanding Each Other Can Help You Build a Stronger, Lasting Love (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781462560189)

Accepting each other's differences is important for all couples--especially when one partner is autistic and the other is not. Psychologist Cindy N. Ariel has spent decades counseling neurodiverse couples to help their relationships thrive. This compassionate book is packed with tools to help both partners understand how their brains work differently and find solutions to common struggles, emphasizing that nothing is "wrong" with either of them. From managing household routines and money to navigating each person's wants and needs about socializing, parenting, hobbies, sex and intimacy, and much more, clear and loving communication is key. Every chapter includes vivid stories, self-reflection questions, conversation starters, and action plans to build connection. Neurodiverse couples can keep exploring, creating, and sustaining the relationship they envision. Dr. Ariel shows how.
