Jessica Kingsley Publishers
Out of all the women in the world who are special to the Asperger Person, Jessica Kingsley is in the top 5, along with mom, wife or girlfriend, and playmate of the year.
Who is Jessica, you might ask? Who knows! Stuff Asperger People Like has no clue, but one thing’s for sure, she sure does have an extensive collection of books on Asperger’s Syndrome and autism.
From personal accounts written by Aspies to clinical perspectives written by doctors, Jessica Kingsley is the headquarters for Asperger reading. The publishing company has helped many individuals and families when looking for resources on Aspies.
Because Jessica/the company has successfully built a collection of Asperger reading material, one has to wonder why she doesn’t pimp, or, uh, market this aspect of her publishing company even more than what’s being done already.
Oprah would have nothing on Jessica’s “Asperger book of the month” club. A television program to showcase the discussion of the monthly book would attract viewers nationally, increase sales, and get the word out on what a wonderfully resourceful company she is running. So long as she doesn’t invite Tom Cruise to jump on the couch during filming.
Sex sells, and if Jessica were to “hotten” up her image with fishnet stockings, red lipstick, and heels while promoting Alone Together: Making an Asperger Marriage Work, sales would skyrocket.
Of course, Jessica Kingsley could be composed of a group of 65 year old men who sit around in the boardroom. If that’s the case, red lipstick and stockings might still work. Remember, every Asperger person has their own sexual thing that does it for them.
In summary, go to Jessica Kingsley for all your Asperger book needs. In the end, it will be just you, her, and a nightstand light. No one else ever has to know.

I actually met Jessica Kingsley once, and I carried on an email conversation with her for a period of time. She is indeed a very cool person. And she really exists. Huzzah!
