The focus of this enlightening book is about making neurodiverse relationships work and is told in the voices of ten unique couples, each sharing their own genuine account of how they made that happen. All relevant relational topics are covered including, diagnosis, support, financial issues, parenting, sex, and intimacy, to mention a few. I particularly loved the chapter that shared the ten secrets of happy neurodiverse couples. I would highly recommend Eva's book to both couples and all professionals whose lives or work include neurodiverse relationships.

The importance of including and amplifying the voice of the autistic person in any endeavor concerning autism cannot be overstated. What makes this book important — and so relatable — is the wealth of personal perspectives shared by these neurodiverse couples. Though every partnership may be unique, the themes that emerge from these personal narratives will resonate with anyone in a relationship.
