Product Description
Ashley Stanford is married to a man with Asperger Syndrome, and her book provides the answers to many of the questions questioned by the increasing number of people in that situation. She clarifies how behaviors that may have appeared odd – or even downright irritating – are the manifestation of AS, and shows how understanding can lead to greater tolerance or to exchange. Stanford provides a wealth of strategies for living successfully with the more uncompromising aspects of AS, pointing out that AS also brings enormous strengths to a relationship, and emphasizes the value of understanding. Including many quotes from people in long-term AS relationships, the book describes many positive solutions that have worked for other couples.

With this book had a few pages I really liked but other then that as the author says at the end she wrote this frequently for herself (That’s not so fantastic) and it disobediently showed. The small she wrote I liked like the one page on sex and the disorder isn’t found anywhere else but nearly all the rest of the info is and is delivered elsewhere better. She states she was pretty ignorant before her limited research and I may possibly tell prior to her statement of it and frankly now she may be more informed but she still has by the side of way to go and some of her assumptions which she states as facts are also incorrect. But, she is aptly that a book like hers is well needed and the fact she acted on that is fantastic. The fact that she deals with someone like her spouse as well as she does and her commitment to her kids with it and without are also admirable. But, couldn’t someone tell her stuff like that 70-75% of the people with this also have ADD/ADDHd? Which IS a fact.Question the leading guy on the topic who she admires so much Tony Attword. She needs to know the area better herself and needs to do better research on it especially with her job being what it is in life and as a mother with 3 kids and a spouse with it.

Well written book by one strong woman. What about a woman like that for me too? I have Aspergers. Ashley Stanford really lays out excellent arguments about why people with Aspergers can marry and not judge garbage that Aspies should be forced celibates. She said being told you shouldn’t marry is like telling Rosa Parks to sit only in the back of the bus. Fact is Aspies just function differently than the normal person and the rules of marriage are altered. People with Aspergers just communicate differently. The best communication is on a phone, text messaging, or talking to your partner in the dark where body language is useless. Body language is the key to understanding the opposite sex, we Aspies just are worse than the average guy at understanding it. Should be required reading for psychiatrists and pyschologists who reckon Aspies should live lives of forced celibacy. Perhaps I bought the book because I had a female supporter in high school named Ashley, and she was gorgeous, too.

I bought this book a month ago in a last ditch effort to save my 23 year marriage to a man with Asbergers and to better know our triplets w/As as well. The boys everlastingly had the dx but my spouse was hesitant to accept the diagnosis. Although I knew what AS was and felt I was very knowledgable I wasn’t. This book really takes you from the begining of a diagnosis, TO HOW TO AFFECTIVELY COMMUNICATE AND UNDERSTAND YOURSELF AND YOUR AS FAMILY MEMBER. This book is wonderful not just for marriages will work for any relationship w/ an AS. My AS son is in a relationship with an AS girl, and questioned me if he may possibly borrow the book,:)
Our marriage of 23 years a month ago was ready to blow up in smoke. Is now on the road to a comfortable place of understanding and communication.

This was the most helpful book in really explaining to the reader what the DSM-IV-TR diagnostic criteria for adult AS really translates to, in layman’s terms, and what those criteria may look like to a non-Asperger partner. For non-AS/AS partners who want their relationships to get better, who know they like one another and who desire to stay together, Ashley Stanford has given us a wonderful resource. She’s ever hopeful, loving, and respectful of her relationship with her AS spouse, even as remaining honest in her sharing of how trying it can be sometimes. Stanford shares the insights she’s gained from living in an AS/non-AS marriage. She sheds light on how the many forms and nuances of Asperger syndrome may bestow itself, which can lead to difficulties for long-term relationships, as well as how to know what those actions really mean. This understanding helps non-AS partners to avoid hurt feelings and promote better understanding between partners for their differences. This was the most upbeat, supportive, encouraging book I’ve read to date, and I’ve read many. I’d urge this book highly to those who are determined to have a healthier relationship with a partner who has AS.

I got this book a few days ago and I’m half-way through it. I’ve already gained a MUCH better understanding of him and the problems in our relationship. What’s more, this book frequently gives real-life solutions that have worked for other couples dealing with problems. I’d urge this book to anyone whose partner has a diagnosis of AS.
