This book is a groundbreaking, personal look at the sexual challenges of those diagnosed with autism or Asperger's Syndrome. Authors Jerry and Mary Newport were both diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome as adults. They spent much of their lives trying to be "normal" and never quite fitting in. They beat the odds by becoming one of the few married autistic couples that have not only found love, but kept it alive. Here they share their first-hand knowledge of the challenges of sex and help guide young autistic adults and their caregivers through this sometimes bewildering but fascinating topic. In her own words, Mary Meinel-Newport is both challenged and blessed with Asperger's Syndrome. Mary's gusto for life and her head-on approach to difficulties has enabled her to find success as an actress, music composer, concert piano technician, gemologist, cosmetologist and writer. Author Jerry Newport was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at age forty-seven. Now a popular international speaker, Jerry is one of the foremost advocates on adult issues for autism and Asperger's Syndrome. Jerry has a B.A. in mathematics from the University of Michigan and was a financial assistant for the U.C.L..A. Department of Medicine. Jerry and Mary live in Tucson, Arizona. It is their greatest pleasure to share their experiences and knowledge in this book, with fond hopes that they might make your road to personal happiness easier. |
