Book that helps the partner of the autistic understand what it takes to connect, and communicate with their significant other. I talk with many people (and consider them priceless friends) on the spectrum and have been asked several times to speak with their partners. This book is a must have for someone who cares for the autistic.

A nice little introduction to what Asperger Syndrome is and how it affects both those who have it and those who live with someone who has it. A little short on what the good points of Asperger's are, but not possible to do as much with these points in this very readable 80 page booklet.
It's not an easy road, but it's my road. I will take all the help I can get. This book offered good advice and real situations that I could totally relate to.
Another book, same topic of life with a partner on the spectrum. But o so different. A bit too clinical and not terribly insightful.

looking forward to deciphering my husband better
A good beginning but not ideal for AS spouses if they need help understanding or accepting AS. This book is about twenty or so AS/NT (neurotypical) couples answering various questions by Aston. While it offers some insight, it isn't going to answer any questions or really offer solid advice.
One of Aston's other publications, 'The Asperger Couple's Workbook', is an excellent, hands-on book and does offer concrete suggestions as to how to smooth out everyday issues.

Good basic primer on Asperger Syndrome. Can also provide some good insights about basic communications that can assist any intimate relationships.
