Have We Gone Nuts?: The Family, Friend and Clinician's Guide to Neurodiverse (Autistic-Neurotypical) Relationships - Paperback

by Bronwyn Maree Wilson (Author)

In this much anticipated second book in the Have They Gone Nuts? series, Dr Bronwyn Wilson further explores the different approaches to life between people on the autism spectrum and neurotypical people, and how their differences affect relationships.

She examines what takes place when they reach out to others for comfort, validation, encouragement and support - from family, friends and services from professionals.

Drawing on first-hand accounts from 400 international research participants, this second book in the three-book series, is an informative journey behind the closed doors of people in neurodiverse relationships.

A valuable resource for neurodiverse families and couples, anyone who suspects they may be in a neurodiverse relationship, family and friends of people in neurodiverse relationships as well as counsellors, therapists and service providers who work with the neurodiverse population.

The words and perspectives of both neurotypical adults and those on the autism spectrum are interwoven together as we explore the different challenges they face in their daily lives. Conveyed from the distinct position of each group, their conversations illustrate the unconventionality of neurodiverse relationships that results from their respective communication differences and difficulties.

Informative and accessible, Dr Wilson presents a balanced view, with identifiable solutions for both groups on the limitations and potential of living in a neurodiverse relationship.
