About this product

Product Information

Communication is one of the biggest challenges faced by people with Asperger's Syndrome (AS), yet an Asperger marriage requires communication more than any other relationship. Thousands of people live in Asperger marriages without knowing the answers to important questions such as `What behaviours indicate that my spouse has AS?' `Is it worthwhile to get a diagnosis?' `Is there hope for improvement?' Katrin Bentley has been married for 18 years. Since receiving her husband's diagnosis of AS, their marriage has improved substantially. They learnt to accept each other's different approaches to life and found ways to overcome problems and misunderstandings. Today they are happily married and able to communicate effectively. Alone Together shares the struggle of one couple to rescue their marriage. It is uplifting and humorous, and includes plenty of tips to making an Asperger marriage succeed. This book offers couples hope, encouragement and strategies for their own marriages.

  • Important book

    Excellent review of what it is to have aspergers and great insight to what it takes to get through speaking a different language in a relationship. Helped me understand my thinking and that though I maybe different I am not unique and can still be lovable even if I am difficult to understand. Helped me to understand why I have a high level of stress and why it's difficult for me to manage it. Hopefully this will help to save my marriage. Well worth reading for anyone who suspects they have aspergers and in a relationship with someone with this condition. So important to have a book about this specific condition rather than a blanket approach to autism. Thanks you Katrin

  • Terrible book

    Do not buy this book. A lifelong list of complaints from an unqualified person about her husband who is clearly non husband material. She should never have married him, and saved us all the pain of reading this book.
