- avoiding pregnancy and STDs
- dealing with rejection
- how to build a loving relationship that includes sexual intimacy

Now a popular international speaker, he is one of the foremost advocates on adult issues that impact people with autism / Asperger’s Syndrome.

Jerry and Mary live in Flagstaff, Arizona, and they hope their book will enrich your life, or the life of someone you love.
