Amazon Description for Anniversary Edition of “Going Over the Edge?” “‘Going Over the Edge?’ is bold, brave, and beautiful. I love how you define “Aspie” dynamics and create a language around stuff that is almost indescribable. I cried a bunch of times. It means so much that someone really understands what this life is like and can describe how the solution is more than the NeuroTypical (NT) being accommodating and understanding. I love hearing about the author’s personal experience and knowing that she gets it! I want my therapist to read this book.” “Dr. Marshack gives...

Ever since he came out as autistic, Joe Biel has been contacted by people wanting to share their stories and ask questions. The most common question by far is: How do I find a romantic partner? Autistic listeners will find valuable answers and perspectives in this book, whether they are just getting ready to jump into dating, are seeking to forge closer friendships, or are looking to improve an existing partnership or marriage.

This book analyzes the rude and critical natures of Aspie and OCPD husbands. It is intended to be a support guide for the nonspectrum and neurotypical partners who marry these men. The book is not intended to be listened to by a person with Asperger's syndrome or OCPD, as it puts names and labels to the abrasive and abusive behaviors that are typical with the brain wiring and genetics at the root of the spectrum disorders.

This book began as an act of witness—an attempt to capture what love looks like when it stretches beyond understanding, beyond diagnosis, beyond the neat definitions that so often fail real life. For more than half a century, Claire and Steven lived inside a marriage shaped by difference. What they did not know, for most of those years, was that Steven was on the autism spectrum—Autism Spectrum Disorder, Level 1. The late diagnosis reframed everything: the confusion, the distance, the loneliness, the love that endured anyway. This story is not a fairy tale. It does not promise perfect ...

“Out of Mind - Out of Sight: Parenting with a Partner with Asperger Syndrome (ASD),” takes an honest look at the unique issues that come up when you’re co-parenting with an Asperger partner. It’s a tough assignment because for the Aspie (ASD) parent so many of the interactions within the family circle, that require empathy, are literally out of mind – out of sight. This is essential reading for the Neuro-Typical (NT) parent to learn more about Asperger Syndrome and find a way to co-parent, co-exist and even thrive within the Asperger/NT family unit. Author Kathy J. Marshack, Ph.D,...

Marriage is supposed to be a place of refuge, intimacy, and emotional safety. For many spouses in neurodiverse marriages, however, the experience is far from what they expected. The outside world sees stability: a hardworking husband, a responsible wife, a couple that seems to “have it together.” But inside the marriage, there can be a vast emotional emptiness. This disconnection doesn’t typically come from malice or cruelty. Rather, it arises from the neurological differences between partners. An autistic individual may struggle with emotional reciprocity, while their neurotypical ...

Anxiety is woven into the autistic experience in ways the world rarely recognizes—through sensory overload, social uncertainty, cognitive rigidity, emotional intensity, executive functioning strain, relationship misunderstandings, and years of accumulated trauma. Adults with ASD often navigate life—and love—with a heightened nervous system and without a clear map. Their neurotypical partners, meanwhile, frequently feel confused, shut out, rejected, or overwhelmed by behaviors that aren’t actually about them but about biology. This workbook is the map both partners have been missing....

Neurodiverse couples have some of the funniest, warmest, most unexpectedly endearing relationship moments imaginable—yet until recently, few books captured the humor living inside these dynamics. This book was born from the laughter that kept showing up in coaching sessions, emails, conversations, and stories people shared about their day-to-day lives. Not the cruel humor that mocks or belittles, but the gentle humor that says: “Okay… this relationship is different. But different can be hilarious.” Over time, I began collecting moments—real ones, honest ones—where two people who...
