The Partner's Guide to Asperger Syndrome Quotes

“Frequently, when Molly and her ASD husband Sam stayed after their worship service to socialize, Sam would get very agitated and tell her (and many others within earshot) that it was “Time to go NOW!” He would then stand with his arms crossed staring at everyone until Molly said her goodbyes and started for the door. Sam was likely reaching a point of sensory overload, brought on by the strain of navigating social rules (see Chapter 2). However, Molly did not understand this at the time, and did not know how to respond to it without offense.”
