First post here, diagnosed about a month ago and now trying to get my partner to understand more as I’m also learning. It’s hard for me to express myself at times through words so I’m curious if anyone has any book recommendations that I could get him to read?
Welcome. It takes a while to bring loved ones up to speed when about our experience of Autism (I will admit; I can get pretty impatient about that process ...more telepathy required!).
This is the first book I got for my partner to read (he is not Autistic):
22 Things a Woman with Asperger's Syndrome Wants Her Partner to Know
By Rudy Simone
Publisher - Jessica Kingsley Publishers Ltd; Illustrated edition (15 Mar. 2012)
ISBN - 978-1849058834
did you feel as if it helped him understand a little better? I know a big part of this is ALSO advocating for myself and my needs which I’m working on but I’m over here still trying to figure it out hahah
