About this listen
Do you feel like you're losing your mind? Do you feel overwhelmed, misunderstood and invisible? Do you feel disconnected emotionally and more like a roommate, instead of a wife?
Maybe you feel more like his mother, instead of a loving partner. You're missing heartfelt intimacy. It wasn't like this when you were dating. You love him, but you are at the end of your rope. You can't really share his odd behavior with anyone, because they wouldn't understand you. You've tried everything to make your marriage work. You've tried to get him to watch marriage videos. You've asked him to meet with your pastor. The answer is always no. He doesn't understand why you get depressed or angry. Even if you get him to go to couple's therapy, somehow it just doesn't work for your marriage.

That's why I wrote this book with 10-steps to help you navigate, transform and flourish in your, oftentimes, mentally and emotionally exhausting marriage.

22 Things a Woman Must Know If She Loves a Man with Asperger's Syndrome

Story
Although having Asperger syndrome (AS) can make romantic relations difficult, having a fulfilling relationship with an Asperger man is certainly not impossible. A woman in love with a man with AS may interpret his difficulties with communication and socialisation as a lack of interest in the relationship. He may vacillate between being gentle and caring to seeming cold and distant. She may find his behaviour hard to understand, resulting in feelings of loneliness, isolation and confusion.

Story
Many listeners email me each day. They typically have problems with the men in their lives. The truth that most of them don't realize is that their emotionally unavailable man or narcissistic man has an undiagnosed syndrome, complex, or disorder. Men often don't seek diagnoses for these issues that have been an ingrained part of their personality since they were born. They want acceptance and a sense of belonging from their partners, and they are often as unable to get these things from his partner as she is unable to get emotional validation from him.

Story
At some point in nearly every marriage, a wife finds herself asking, "What is wrong with my husband?!" In David Finch's case, this turns out to be an apt question. Five years after he married Kristen, the love of his life, they learn that he has Asperger syndrome. The diagnosis explains David's ever-growing list of quirks and compulsions, his lifelong propensity to quack and otherwise melt down in social exchanges, and his clinical-strength inflexibility. But it doesn't make him any easier to live with.

In Unmasking Autism, Dr. Devon Price shares their personal experience with masking and blends history, social science research, prescriptions, and personal profiles to tell a story of neurodivergence that has thus far been dominated by those on the outside looking in. For Dr. Price and many others, Autism is a deep source of uniqueness and beauty. Unfortunately, living in a neurotypical world means it can also be a source of incredible alienation and pain.

No real info…
Like many women in a relationship with a man (in denial) on the spectrum, I am desperate for a way to get my needs met. Like most of the books I’ve read on this subject, this book offers ways to accommodate him. Oh, and there is a lot of religion mixed in. Save your cash.
