Books about relationships for NT men?

Post Reply New Topic

Are there any books about AS/NT relationships that are targeted towards someone with a female AS partner? I'd like to get a book for my husband; I've found a lot about AS/NT relationships but they seem mostly to be geared toward women in a relationship with an AS man, and that might be hard for him to relate to.

I am sorry I do not know of one. I decided to post because this is falling to the bottom and I would like to see this as well.
Although I am not in a relationship, I would like to see something for future reference.

I've found quite a few that I've been looking into getting for my boyfriend. I really don't know how helpful or not they will be, but they all look... interesting at least.

A word of caution regarding Maxine Aston; her texts tend to have a slant against those on the spectrum, at times painting those in relationships with individuals on the spectrum as victims. I'm not saying there isn't some good content, but carry a few extra grains of salt when reading through that material.

Thank you much, and will do when reading it for myself if we wind up with any of hers. I don't know how I feel about that honestly, as often my boyfriend really does feel that I'm saying things against him, or am pinning things on him and all, and my upsets come across to him as if I'm angry at him rather than frustrated with the situation and all, so he may be able to relate to some of it in all honesty. Though it's hard to swallow when he expresses these things to me, I have to accept it as how he feels and try not to voice the reality of the situation too much, lol, because I have learned that explaining it all doesn't help one bit when the other is upset or feeling like they are on the receiving end of things.
