‘A searingly honest account of the difficulties faced when people who
are differently wired come together’ The National Autistic Society Intelligent,
charismatic, but with the emotional maturity of a child. Sound familiar? It should,
because someone you know has Asperger’s Syndrome. Mr Spock, Frank Spencer, Mr
Bean and Cary Grant in ‘Bringing up Baby’; they’re all fictional representations
of an almost unknown, real-life, neurological disorder: Asperger’s Syndrome. It’s
the high-functioning end of the autistic spectrum. Vulnerable and obsessional,
rigid and fascinating, relationships are a minefield for Aspergers. And for those
who love them. This is the story of one Asperger man, written by the woman who
loved him and is an absorbing and personal account of an impossible love affair.
It’s also a study of the condition itself, its possible causes, and its future.
This is the essential handbook for all those who suspect they may be in a relationship
with Mr or Mrs Spock.
