Library Item Name:

Does your partner have Asperger's? 		   
Summary Statement:

Is your partner distant? Does he have poor social skills that make you shudder? Before you despair, it could be that he has undiagnosed Asperger’s syndrome

When Sarah Hendrickx met Keith Newton she thought he was just a little “weird” and was hurt by his apparent lack of concern for her feelings. Although they soon became lovers, she characterised him as a “heartless freak” while he saw her as an “overemotional troublemaker”.

As a marital therapist, I am familiar with this battle and most couples will have privately thought something similar about their partner at some point. However, Keith has Asperger’s syndrome, a type of autism characterised by an inability to read body language, poor social skills, sensory sensitivity and a narrow, obsessive range of interests.
