Summary of Eva A. Mendes' Marriage and Lasting Relationships with Asperger's Syndrome (Autism Spectrum Disorder)

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 When a neurodiverse marriage fails, it can be several years before either partner realizes that ASD is at play. The NS partner may begin looking for additional explanations for her husband’s behavior, and may begin to wonder why her partner doesn’t love her.

#2 Adults with ASD are often successful at work, and may go their entire lives without feeling the need to seek a diagnosis. Many psychiatrists provide medication during a 20-minute appointment, but not counseling.

#3 The prevalence of ASD is on the rise. It is mainly genetic, but environmental causes cannot be completely ruled out. Neurodiversity is the idea that neurological differences like autism and ADHD are the result of normal, natural variation in the human genome.

#4 The autism spectrum is a neurological difference, rather than a mental disorder. It is not a disease that needs to be cured. It is characterized by a set of traits, or a behavioral profile with certain core features.
