*A New York Times Bestseller*
A warm and hilarious memoir by a man diagnosed with Asperger syndrome who sets out to save his relationship.
Five years after David Finch married Kristen, the love of his life, they learned that he has Asperger syndrome. The diagnosis explained David’s ever-growing list of quirks and compulsions, but it didn’t make him any easier to live with.
Determined to change, David set out to understand Asperger syndrome and learn to be a better husband with an endearing zeal. His methods for improving his marriage involve excessive note-taking, performance reviews, and most of all, the Journal of Best Practices: a collection of hundreds of maxims and hard-won epiphanies, including “Don’t change the radio station when she’s singing along” and “Apologies do not count when you shout them.” David transforms himself from the world’s most trying husband to the husband who tries the hardest. He becomes the husband he’d always meant to be.
Filled with humor and wisdom, The Journal of Best Practices is a candid story of ruthless self-improvement, a unique window into living with an autism spectrum condition, and proof that a true heart is the key to happy marriage.

- 4/5 Tobias S
Jag som person med Aspergers syndrom har stor nytta av denna bok då den tar upp egna upplevelser av att leva med Aspergers syndrom I ett äktenskap. Det är dock viktigt att inte ta denna bok direkt som en måttstock för hur alla med diagnosen är, vilket är lätt att göra när man läser den. Alla är olika och behöver således inte vara exakt likadana. Det finns personer som inte är fullt så funktionsnedsatta som författaren.

Jag har aspergers själv och behöver lära mig om hur det är att vara i en relation. Bra bok om det är det man vill.
