The updated edition of Maxine Aston's workshop is filled with interesting, useful, and easily accessible activities for couples where one or both partners are on the autism spectrum, to understand and accept their differences. The book covers topics such as verbal and non-verbal communication, issues of sexuality, socialization, and parenting, with case studies from couples who have successfully worked through their issues. This edition is fully updated for DSM-V and includes new research on alexithymia, further perspectives on couples counseling, digital communication, and sensitivity to sensory stimuli, with new worksheets and opportunities for collaboration and reflection. Combining advice, guidance, and activities, the book can be used independently by a couple at home or in collaboration with a therapist, encouraging communication and empathy for the success of a neurodiverse relationship.
