Asperger syndrome and long term relationships. Woman author, last name Wiley, I think. She talks about her relationship with asperger partner.
The ethical slut. Odd, but it helped a lot, taught me how to communicate with people.
How to win friends and influence people. A bit cheap, scammy like. But has few good parts.
Go online, research the different ways autism peeps and neurotypicals communicate. Really fascinating. When autism people think of communicating, it's the sharing of thoughts, ideas. Neurotypicals, it's about elaborate rituals, almost a dance, they need it to know they're included, have been accepted into the social group.
Fascinating from an anthropology perspective.
