Undateable? Think again...
Autism and dating might not be words you often hear together. Autistic people don't date, right? Don't they reside in their bedrooms and research types of steam train?
Enter Atypical Love. This beautiful collection features nine stories about romance and relationships written by neurodivergent writers - by neurodivergent we mean a difference in brain wiring: autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and so on. Our stories showcase the human struggles of relationships - from navigating first dates to keeping the spark alive in a long-term marriage - intertwined with the additional complexity that neurodiversity can bring.
A bowl of soup for the soul that spans across perspectives and genres, Atypical Love is a celebration of love in all forms.
