Autistics' Guide to Dating A Book by Autistics for Autistics and Those Who Love Them or Who Are in Love with Them

<p>For people on the autism spectrum dating is so often an elusive art form, requiring the very skills--in communication, and in social perception--that don't come naturally to them. This book presents strategies for overcoming social skills deficits and sensory issues, to make for relationship success.<br><br>Emilia Murry Ramey and Jody John Ramey, both on the spectrum, reflect on their dating experiences and provide recommendations for relationships in both the short- and long-term. Their advice includes how to choose venues for meeting people that are free from discomfiting features; coping with typical experiences in the light of sensory issues such as close proximity with a partner, eye-contact, and physical intimacy; and moving on to extended, committed relationships, co-habiting and continuing to date after marriage.<br><br>Thorough, accessible, and very encouraging, this book is a must-read for Autistic people, those who love them, and those who are in love with them.</p>
