Understanding Autistic Relationships Across the Lifespan: Family, Friends, Lovers and Others

£0.00

Felicity Sedgewick and Sarah Douglas (2023)

This book is an accessible overview of Autistic relationships from the early years through to old age. Using current research and first-hand accounts the work explores Autistic relationships and how they differ to non-Autistic relationships. Examining each of life’s stages, the authors reveal how navigating relationships can lead to trauma, misunderstandings and rejection. They also examine the counterpoint – how Autistic relationships can lead to genuine connections, support and joy. The book explores key topics from relationships in early years to childhood and teenage friendships, from romance and adult sexual relationships to LGBTQ+ relationships. The work also looks at finding community, family relationships and issues surrounding later stages of life. The authors discuss a wide range of emotions and life situations within the context of Autistic people’s social world and the ways in which they navigate it.
