Tony Attwood, PhD, is a clinical psychologist from Brisbane, Australia, with over 30 years of experience with individuals with autism spectrum disorders. He is currently Adjunct Professor at Griffith University in Queensland. Maxine Aston is an author, qualified counsellor and supervisor. She is the author of Asperger's in Love, The Asperger Couple's Workbook and What Men with Asperger Syndrome Want to Know About Women, Dating and Relationships, and Relationship Counselling with Autistic Neurodiverse Couples, also published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers.

I consider that the partners of those who have Asperger's syndrome are quite remarkable people; this book is a tribute to their personal qualities and will contribute to a significant improvement in mutual understanding and enjoyment of the relationship.
