The Journal of Best Practices: A Memoir of Marriage, Asperger Syndrome, and One Man's Quest to Be a Better Husband, is a wonderful book by David Finch.
At the age of 30, after 5 years of marriage and the birth of two young children, Finch is diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. Rather than being depressed by this diagnosis, the Finches are actually thrilled, as it explains so many things in their struggling marriage. From this starting point, David Finch sets out to turn himself into the best husband he can possible be.
He does massive amounts of research, and keeps copious notes-stuffed in his nightstand drawer-which later become The Journal of Best Practices. This is a funny and deeply honest look into the mind of someone with Aspergers. A fascinating read.
