Jun 27, Sarah rated it it was ok. Overall, this book doesn't seem too helpful compared to other books in this category. It's a lot of personal stories from the author's perspective.

She draws upon her own experiences as an autistic adult to attempt to address everyday questions that face autistic people regarding sexuality, love and relationships.
