Neurodivergent couples, where one or both partners have ASD, ADHD, or another brain difference, often struggle with mixed signals. Autism includes challenges to social communication, and nowhere is social communication more important than in a marriage or committed relationship.
This is the second book in the series Adulting while Autistic, which explores the facets of neurodivergent adulthood, including dating, marriage and parenthood. Wendela Whitcomb Marsh delves into the many ways autists can succeed and be true to themselves in a neuromajority world.

Dating is stressful, isn’t it? If you’re autistic, the thought of trying to meet someone new can feel exhausting. Could you use a dating coach, but in book form? Then you’ve come to the right place. This book takes you from first date to friendship to love.

You’ll find “Bad Idea/Better Idea” tips for what to avoid, and what to try instead. “A Couple of Singles” follows two fictional autistic characters, Bill and Trish, on their quest for love. “Ask Yourself” offers opportunities to reflect on what’s important to you. Finally, “Actually Autistic Love Stories” bring first-hand knowledge from neurodivergent couples who are already living the dream. If you want down-to-earth guidance on how to navigate dating and relationships, you’ve come to the right place. This book is for you.

Wendela Whitcomb Marsh has a heart for autists of all ages, and for the amazing parents and professionals who love them and work with them. Having been a teacher, counselor, psychologist, and Board Certified Behavior Analyst, as well as parent of and spouse to awesome autistic people, she brings a unique perspective to working with this population. She lives in Salem, Oregon.
