Summary
Neurodiverse couples share personal accounts of the ups and downs of being in an AS relationship.
Filled with first-hand accounts and the best kept secrets to help your relationship bloom, this audiobook is a deep dive into loving autistic relationships and the unique strengths that drive them.
Based on clinical experience and emerging research, ASC counselling expert Eva Mendes explores the complex and fulfilling relationships between neurodiverse couples. This audiobook takes you on a journey into the relationships of 20 neurodiverse couples from all walks of life, offering insight into how they meet the challenges of daily life and the unique strengths being neurodiverse can bring to a being a partner or co-parent. The couples share down-to-earth and candid recollections of the ups and downs of their relationships, weighing in on topics from emotional connection and sex to managing co-parenting and finances.
Exploring multiple intersections from race, gender and sexuality across autistic relationships, and ironing out the common myths surrounding them, Eva offers a specialist, clinical perspective on each dynamic and provides examples of best practice to have a healthy and happy relationship.

Difficult to follow
I preordered this book as I was looking forward to listening to it. Unfortunately, I found the audiobook format difficult to follow, and the book itself tended to focus on male narratives of ASD principally. I actually stopped listening to this after several chapters as I found it hard to follow, and the focus on male autistic experiences was disappointing for a book that is principally set out to offer diverse discussions and voices.
There are two narrators for essentially three voices at any one time, with the narrator being both questioner and respondent for each section. This makes it difficult to break down the discussion. Also, the introductory sections provide the take home messages of the following interviews, which (for me) put the cart before the horse and made it difficult to pick out the take home messages in the following (confusingly structured) dialogue. Perhaps the book would be easier to digest in a written format - I don't know. I also thought the focus was more leaning towards informing neurotypical people, rather than being for both NT and ND readers.
