About the Author :
Ashley Stanford has worked as a technical writer for 17 years and is the CEO of a successful computer software company. She is the author of Asperger Syndrome and Long-Term Relationships and Business for Aspies, also published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. She lives with her husband, who is on the autism spectrum, in Berkeley, California.

Review :
An excellent reference for any who would handle the dual challenges of a relationship and autism. "Too many variables", Ashley Stanford's husband declares about relationships in her opening paragraph of this different and very comprehensive "manual" to maintaining an autism spectrum relationship. He's so right! This guide takes those variables back to their individual components and helps the reader construct new ways to look and deal with issues that AS couples experience every single day. A thought-provoking book for couples and the professionals who work with them.
