Title Asperger Marriage, An Author Gisela & Christopher Slater-Walker Year Published 2002 ISBN 1-84310-017-7 Back Cover “Five years ago Chris was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome. For Chris, this was an explanation of why he had always regarded himself as socially handicapped. For Gisela, it meant coming to terms with a marriage in which there would never be an intuitive understanding despite Chris’s good intentions.” Our Review Readable. Thought provoking. Many Autistic sons may have undiagnosed autistic fathers. Recommended to me by one of the family support workers at Autism London. Jan LB. ©

Wow! Jan LB. ©
