About this listen
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?
Dr. Faith G. Harper, author of Unf*ck Your Brain and Unf*ck Your Intimacy, joins autistic publisher and author Joe Biel to offer hard-won guidance on a wide range of topics about friendships, dating, and romance and answer a ton of questions. What do you want out of a relationship? What is the difference between flirting and harassment? How do you have a fun date and get to know someone when eye contact and prolonged conversation aren’t your strengths? How do you change a casual acquaintance into friendship or dating? How do you express your needs and make sure you’re hearing your partner when they express theirs? How do you maintain a healthy, happy long-term relationship?
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.

Every year, millions of withdrawn little girls and chronically overwhelmed women go undiagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder because they don't fit the stereotypical profile: they're not fast-talking, hyperactive, or inattentive, and they are not male. Sari Solden's groundbreaking study reveals that ADHD affects just as many women as men, and that the resulting depression, disorganization, anxiety, and underachievement are also symptoms of ADHD. Newly revised and updated to reflect the latest clinical research, the book explores treatment and counseling options and more.

When Sarah Nannery got her first job at a small nonprofit, she thought she knew exactly what it would take to advance. But soon she realized that even with hard work and conscientiousness, she was missing key meanings and messages embedded in her colleagues' everyday requests, feedback, and praise. She had long realized her brain operated differently than others, but now she knew for sure: She had autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

very useful and helpful

I couldn’t recommend this more for autistic people and those who love them and want to understand building and maintaining healthy attachment further.
Have already recommended it to a handful of people and personally will refer back to it in full/certain parts as i try to navigate healthy attachments as a queer, neurodiverse person w/ comorbidity re autism, ADHD, CPTSD, depression, etc.
Actually autistic review - very affirming!

What I really appreciate is how affirming it is. Instead of treating autistic traits as something to “fix,” it offers realistic strategies for building connection while still honouring who you are. It doesn’t sugarcoat the challenges, but it doesn’t make you feel broken, either.
So far, it’s helping me understand both myself and others better. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who feels unsure of themselves in social situations, or who’s been made to feel like they’re “too much” or “not enough.” This book says: you are enough—and here’s how to thrive, not just survive, in relationships.
I like that he switched up the genders in the audio book.
Honest and direct
