Publisher's Synopsis
Travis talks about what getting his first kiss at the age of 21 was like for him. People with autism are usually late bloomers but they do still have that desire to express their sexuality in a healthy way. Travis shares with the reader how he learned to improve his quality of life by learning how to talk to the women that he is attracted to. Travis describes his first kiss in this excellent book. Travis has a hard time relating to women and that has always been an issue because of the autism and schizophrenia. Just recently Travis started trying to teach himself social skills that would be more desired by women and also be more acceptable to them. The last thing that a man wants to do is creep a woman out. I would never do that on purpose so that is why i study social skills so much. Travis will share how he went on a picnic with Amy and we ended up kissing for a half an hour. I was so excited because I had never kissed anyone and I really wanted to get a kiss. I wanted my first kiss to be special and it was magical. Kissing can be difficult for people with autism because you have to interact with your partner non-verbally. You have to read when she is ready to be kissed.Because you cannot waste anytime. You have to catch it and be in the moment. Sexuality and relationships are things that someone with autism and schizophrenia may struggle with. I am learning as I get older that autism is not much of a problem. For me it is the Schizophrenia that makes my life challenging. This is a great book for teachers and parents wanting to know more about autism and schizophrenia and some of the sexual desires that someone with autism has.
