Summary

Andrew didn’t realize he might be autistic until his girlfriend, Michelle, approached him about it months into their relationship. No amount of life experience could’ve prepared Michelle for the confusion she felt while dating Andrew, as he was unlike any man she had ever dated before. The thought never dawned on her that she could fall deeply in love with a man who was autistic or that he might be unaware of this, even into his 30s.

Whenever they share their story, they are asked the same three questions:

How did you figure out Andrew was autistic?
How did you approach him about it?
How did you get a diagnosis?

These are all fair questions and have interesting and often comedic answers. In this compelling book, Michelle and Andrew answer these questions and share much more.
You will follow along as their FRIENDSHIP unexpectedly blossoms into a relationship. You will see LOVE flourish among ridiculous twists and turns. They bring you along for the AUTISM diagnosis that allowed them to grow a deeper understanding of each other.
Andrew’s contributions to this book are invaluable as they give insight as to what life is like to be him. Michelle’s humor and authenticity are both unexpected and refreshing.

Come along on this outrageous journey of friendship turned to love on the spectrum.

Worth it

Genuinely enjoyed the audio book. It’s a great story between Michelle and Andrew, with a unique perspective I could relate to, being autistic myself and relating heavily to most of Andrews traits, causing many laughs and shared pain.
I ordered it again in paperback form so my girlfriend could read it as well. I hope she’ll enjoy and relate to Michelle’s perspective for some bits, so we can share a couple of laughs and conversation about it’ll later.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
