Neurodivergent Love

Autism Blueprint Podcast

Episode Summary

In this episode of the Autism Blueprint Podcast, I am joined by my friend and colleague, Katherine Scott, a licensed marriage and family therapist based in North Florida. Together, we delve into the complexities of neurodivergent relationships, particularly focusing on couples where one partner is neurodivergent and the other may be neurotypical or also neurodivergent.

Katherine shares her insights from her practice, discussing common challenges faced by these couples, such as difficulties with perspective-taking, communication breakdowns, and the nuances of intimacy.

Throughout the episode, we explore the unique dynamics that arise in neurodivergent relationships, emphasizing the importance of understanding and accepting each partner’s differences.

We discuss the importance of recognizing good intent in each other and the necessity of pausing to create space for connection. Katherine encourages listeners to stop comparing their relationships to others, reminding them that each couple’s journey is unique.

This episode is packed with insights and practical tips for anyone navigating the complexities of neurodivergent relationships. Whether you’re in a neurodivergent couple or simply looking to understand these dynamics better, this conversation offers valuable perspectives and tools for fostering connection and understanding.
