Men with Asperger's Syndrome, young and old, experience difficulty with social interaction, which can be a stumbling block when it comes to getting a girlfriend. Here is a book that demystifies the enigma of 'relationships' by explaining everything in Asperger-friendly terms (some of them mathematical, naturally)."Asperger Meets Girl" provides hope for all hopeless wooers by offering a choice of three interrelated abstract models for understanding boy - girl relationships. And, to make life easier, these models are presented in graph form where possible. The book also gives valuable practical tips for maximising one's chances of successfully developing a relationship, such as how to start a conversation without scaring the other person off, avoiding the inclination to stare and understanding the concept of 'personal space'. Serious, and seriously funny, this book will help bring happy endings to Asperger boys and make them laugh in the process.

This review is from: Asperger Meets Girl: Happy Endings for Asperger Boys (Paperback)

This book is very encouraging! It is very good to see that someone who has Asperger's himself is fortuante enough to have learned the social skills that are needed in order to be successful in relationships and marriage. I also appreciate books that tell people who have Asperger's about what they need to say and do in order to be successful in situations that they want to be successful in. Books like this one are long overdue!
