For individuals on the autism spectrum, dating can often be a challenging experience, requiring communication and social perception skills that may not come naturally. This book offers strategies for overcoming social skills difficulties and sensory issues to help achieve successful relationships.

Emilia Murry Ramey and Jody John Ramey, both on the spectrum, share their dating experiences and offer advice for building relationships in both the short and long term. Their recommendations include selecting venues for meeting people that avoid overwhelming features; managing common sensory challenges such as close proximity to a partner, eye contact, and physical intimacy; and progressing to long-term, committed relationships, cohabitation, and dating after marriage.

Thorough, accessible, and highly encouraging, this book is a must-read for autistic individuals, their loved ones, and those who love them.
