Critics Review
‘Sarah’s book is an essential resource for all families who have an adolescent with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, such as Asperger’s syndrome. The information is detailed and accurate, and addresses just about all the issues relating to the important subject of sexuality, which is all too often distorted and presented in a biased way. Sarah’s approach is to explain the facts neutrally and realistically, while acknowledging individual values and respecting personal choice. I will certainly be recommending this book to all my clients.’- Isabelle Henault PhD. Author of Asperger Syndrome and Sexuality: from Adolescence through Adulthood
