Focusing on concrete strategies and step-by-step actions that can be applied in day-to-day living, the author covers all of the challenges that can arise in ASD relationships including issues surrounding diagnosis, mental health, sexual compatibility, sensory needs, executive functioning, theory of mind, communication, and co-parenting.
