Written for adults on the spectrum and those involved in their lives- parents, spouses, friends- this book is divided
into two sections: life and love. In the life section, the author describes and suggests concrete ways to deal with
some of the issues and challenges faced by those on the autism spectrum. Examples include how to
accommodate sensory issues, maintain a home, and manage a career. In the love section, the author includes a
broad spectrum of suggestions for different types of relationships and weaves them together with the core
concept of self-esteem. - from a review written by University of Miami/Nova Southeastern University Center for

About the Author
Zosia Zaks has Asperger Syndrome. Although she completed her master’s degree in technical journalism from
Polytechnic University in 2000 and held a variety of writing and editing jobs, it was various vocational and social
challenges that led to her diagnosis at age 31. Now, with a clearer understanding of autism and how it impacts
her life, Zosia has managed to face these challenges with creative ideas and innovative compromises. She now
works as a heavy equipment operator in the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 825. This type of
work allows her to go from project to project and is concrete in nature. She also runs www.intelligirl.com, a
website that allows visitors to customize jewelry. Additionally, she lectures and conducts workshops nationally on
issues of importance to the autistic community; consults with families, couples, and adults on the spectrum to find
ways to meet challenges based on autistic strengths; and serves on the Advisory Board of GRASP, the Global
and Regional Asperger Syndrome Partnership. She is married to her partner, Gena. They live outside New York
City with their fifteen-month-old twin daughters, Ruby and Eileen, and their cat, Zero.
