Autism in adult relationships

Post date: 2020-07-05 00:18:06

Please recommend a book on autism and adult relationships - ideally written by someone who has known they're on the spectrum for a while.

Me and my much-loved long-term partner both almost certainly have undiagnosed autism and were each raised by an autistic parent.

One thing that is really hard on our relationship is that we both have poor theory of mind. It often helps after the fact to know that we both have poor theory of mind. After something comes up, we're often able to identify that that's what went wrong. But it can be really painful in the moment sometimes. And we both need to learn how to deal with that. So I would like to read up on it, and I'm having trouble finding good books.

It would also be fantastic if you could recommend a book on autism, sex, and adult relationships. And/or a book that breaks sex down into many very small, bitesize steps. (We would both appreciate, if possible, any such books being up-to-date on gender and sexuality.)
