A practical guide to neurodiverse relationships

Joe Biel’s handbook addresses the everyday questions that can arise when partners have different neurological experiences. It covers communication, understanding an autistic partner’s mental processes, sexual intimacy, and recognizing relationship strengths. The guidance is framed around recurring areas of difficulty that couples can identify and work through together, and the book includes perspectives from an autistic author and from a partner of an autistic person. Its subject is not limited to one pairing: the description also includes relationships between two neurodivergent people.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Partners in autistic-allistic relationships seeking guidance on communication and intimacy
  • Couples in which both partners are neurodivergent
  • People who want an introductory relationship-focused guide to autism

Book overview

So, your partner is autistic. Or you suspect they might be. And you're wondering, "What does this mean for my relationship?" This guide is for you. Learn key communication skills for succeeding in a neurologically mixed relationship, gain a better understanding of your partner's mental processes, troubleshoot your sex life, and level up your appreciation for your partner's relationship strengths. Autistic-allistic relationships, as well as relationships between two neurodivergent people, can work out splendidly, but there are a few consistent and predictable areas where they can get in trouble, which you can work through together once you know how to spot them. Dr. Faith G. Harper, author of Unf*ck Your Brain and Unf*ck Your Intimacy, joins Joe Biel (an autistic publisher and author) and Elly Blue (a partner of an autistic person), to offer hard-won guidance on a wide range of relationship topics.
