A lot to offer, some real problems
There's benefit to be had from reading this book, primarily from the experiences of couples that she has worked with. I saw my marriage in many of their stories. The first part that's hard to swallow is that she believes that ASD is genetic, which requires the reader to disregard the mounting body of evidence about environmental impact during development, including all of Donna Gates work with her BEDROK foundation describing the impact of a damaged microbiome on the development of ASD. This is important, because she says in the book that she believes it's the "non-spectrum" partner who has to do most of the changing...apparently because "it's genetic", and therefore it's "unchangeable. But if the brain is as plastic as we are being told, is that true? The second part that's hard to swallow is the idea that ASD is just a different kind of intelligence. But humans are one of the most intensely social animals on the planet, while ASD is characterized as a disorder of decreased social/emotional intelligence. Is she really suggesting that something that makes you a better "earner", or a person who who conforms well to the overwork agenda of the workplace because of "hyper-focus", but which makes you a worse parent and a worse partner - this is somehow just...diversity? No, it is not. It *is* pathology. Capitalism doesn't need more robots. We don't need more "good earners". We need people who are *sensitive to and adept at recognizing and meeting the needs of their partners and their children*. I really appreciate that what she hopes to accomplish with the "neurodiversity" program is the de-stigmatization of ASD. Let's agree; if someone is on the ASD spectrum, it is not their fault. But we can include them in the circle of full humanity without pretending that these traits, which bring so much pain to their relationships, are desirable or normal or equivalent. The book has a strong politically correct ring to it, but is still worth reading for the stories of couples she has worked with. Read full review

Most USEFUL book ASP book I have read thus far.
While books get better with time,Eva's book is detailed, no filler, and covers enough to bring everyone up to speed while providing them with constructive, detailed to-dolists to work through. If you intend to read more than one book on AS because you have a desire to change in some way, then I most highly suggest that this book be one of your choices.
