A personal look at romance and autism in adulthood

Kerry Magro centers adult romantic life on the autism spectrum, drawing from his own experience of love and loss. The book addresses a gap often left by child-focused discussions of autism: how relationships can take shape as autistic people reach adulthood. Alongside the personal framework of “the one that got away,” it examines practical relationship issues named in the description, including reading social cues, empathy, and communication patterns. Its perspective places dating in the context of differing expectations and barriers, presenting autism and love as connected parts of adult life rather than separate subjects.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Autistic adults exploring dating and romantic relationships
  • Partners or prospective partners of autistic people
  • Family members seeking context on autism and adult relationships

Book overview

Have you ever fallen in love before? In this book, award winning national speaker Kerry Magro discusses his own personal experiences as an adult on the autism spectrum and being in love. A popular image of autism today focuses on children and interventions. As these children grow up on the spectrum and become adults a romantic relationship will become a possibility for some in our community. Kerry's first hand experience discussing "The One That Got Away" will open the reader to a new line of thinking while breaking down the barriers of ignorance between autism and love. In this book you will also learn more about some of the challenges that face individuals with autism today in finding a partner including topics such as social cues, empathy, communication patterns and much, much more! Those on the autism spectrum will learn more on relationships and how they can go about finding their next partner while neurotypicals will learn some things you may expect while dating someone with autism.
