About this listen

Andrew didn’t realize he might be autistic until his girlfriend, Michelle, approached him about it months into their relationship. No amount of life experience could’ve prepared Michelle for the confusion she felt while dating Andrew, as he was unlike any man she had ever dated before. The thought never dawned on her that she could fall deeply in love with a man who was autistic or that he might be unaware of this, even into his 30s.

Whenever they share their story, they are asked the same three questions:

How did you figure out Andrew was autistic?
How did you approach him about it?
How did you get a diagnosis?

These are all fair questions and have interesting and often comedic answers. In this compelling book, Michelle and Andrew answer these questions and share much more.
You will follow along as their FRIENDSHIP unexpectedly blossoms into a relationship. You will see LOVE flourish among ridiculous twists and turns. They bring you along for the AUTISM diagnosis that allowed them to grow a deeper understanding of each other.
Andrew’s contributions to this book are invaluable as they give insight as to what life is like to be him. Michelle’s humor and authenticity are both unexpected and refreshing.

Come along on this outrageous journey of friendship turned to love on the spectrum.

A truthful experience in a lighthearted delivery

I especially enjoyed Andrews views and he has a great voice for narration. The chapter on intimacy was so helpful, especially since I’m also a later diagnosed autistic adhd person. I had so many aha moments. Michelle and Andrew are the kind of people I’d like more of in my life

Best book I have read

Very pleased with this book. What a wonderful book if your looking for other people’s experiences to learn about your own. And the way the book is written makes it an easy read. I finished it in 3 days (listened to audible at work)

Where was this books 5 years ago?

This book has completely changed the way my husband and I work together. Granted, we only realized he has autistic traits in the last year. However, this totally changed the way we act towards one another.

this didn't disappoint!

This book was honest, heartwarming, and relatable. It's a love story, it's a study of human nature and communication, and it's a book chock full of easy to implement suggestions on how to support the autistic in our lives.

Love these two!

This book was absolutely amazing, I fell in love with the characters immediately and am genuinely sad that I finished it so fast!
Learning about this couple and listening to both of their perspectives on situations and how they learned from each other is so inspiring. Michelle opens up to us as if we are her best friends and we get to hear and see everything from her perspective which you get mad at her because we of course know Andrew is autistic but then we get to hear Michelle’s thought process on how she came to this conclusion of her partner possibly being autistic. It’s a great detective love book and honestly I feel so inspired. There’s to many times in life we give up on something but Michelle knew this was something special, but she had to figure it out. There’s a website attached to the book to actually see pictures from their life and I’m so sad the book is over. I have never cared about characters haha PEOPLE I have never met this much

So much learning, love and patience

I discovered Michelle and Andrew on TikTok and thru their videos developed interest in learning about autism. I was completely clueless before this book.
I am so grateful for the huge amount of information they shared, as well as all the real life examples and the transparency of their stories. I feel like I now understand a lot better what it's like to interact with an autistic person and have so many tools, in case I need them in the future.
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us! Many blessings to you both!

A Great Read for all Relationships

I am only 9 chapters in and I can't say enough good things about this book. Not only are Michelle and Andrew the cutest but this books help you stop and appreciate every relationship and human interaction you may have with anyone that thinks or does things differently than you do.
