During this episode Mona, Olga and Manecia talk about how we have dealt with our emotions SO differently then our neurodivergent partners, and discuss the impact this has had on our relationships. When we have shared our emotions and feelings with our current or past partners, they might respond by shutting down, looking very confused, or appear indifferent. Understanding and coming to terms with how differently our partners processed our emotions has been a challenging journey, however, during this episode we have some epiphanies that may help others. We discuss how important it is to understand that the way in which our partners may have showed they care about us is very different then we may have wanted or expected them to react, when we would get emotional. Sometimes we need a hug, at others times we need calming reassurance that "everything is going to be okay" and we may expect our partners to "read our minds" about what we need. No matter what, (paraphrasing Oprah), we want to know that our partners "hear us" "see us" and "understand us" and we talk about some of the ways in which neurodiverse couples may be able to achieve this. We hope you gain some insight from our mistakes, and the lessons we have learned on our neurodiverse journey's. If you are in a "Neurodiverse Love" relationship, or provide coaching or counseling to Neurodiverse couples we would like to hear from you.

In this episode, we talk about what we did do, as well as what we didn't do, to take care of ourselves in our neurodiverse relationships. We also delve into why acknowledging and letting ourselves feel and work through our emotions is SO important. Even though both partners may have different ways of expressing their emotions, we talk about the importance of understanding and experiencing your emotions in the ways that are healthy and healing for you (and don't cause harm to others). Lastly, we talk about the ways in which we have grown in our relationships and how important it is to empower yourself, create boundaries and take time for "you", even when you feel like you're putting everyone else first.

During this episode we talk about how important emotional reciprocity is to the neurotypical partner and how each partner needs to create their own happiness, instead of relying on the other to be their only source of fun and happiness. We also talk about some of the ways in which each partner can get their needs met through respectful. loving communication. In addition, we talk about the challenges couples may have because of unresolved trauma from undiagnosed autism and how that can have an impact on the neurodiverse relationship. As we continue to expand our podcast content, we are sharing more information that we hope will be helpful to neurodiverse couples, or those that are looking to begin a neurodiverse relationship. Every love relationship takes work, however we also know that going into a neurodiverse relationship when you are expecting a neurotypical relationship, can bring many challenges and unintentional pain that we hope this podcast and the other resources and information we offer will help lessen.

We are so excited to share this episode with our listeners. Kate and Clark have been married for 9 years and in October, 2020, Clark was officially diagnosed as autistic. During this episode, this neurodiverse couple share openly and honestly about the ups and downs of being in a ND Love relationship. They share how they met, what attracted them to each other, what it's like to receive an ASD diagnosis as a married adult with two children. They also talk about how they are learning to handle communication challenges, the importance of emotional reciprocity, more effective ways to address meltdowns and shutdowns, the importance of time alone, and how being in a ND relationship is a lot like speaking two different languages and always trying to translate in your head, so you "get it right". This is the first time we have had a Neurodiverse couple on the podcast and we would love to hear from more neurodiverse couples who want to share their stories. We also want to thank Kate and Clark for being both vulnerable and authentic with us. Their love for each other is an inspiration and we really enjoyed talking with them during this episode.

Manecia is in a neurodiverse marriage and shares her story in a way that is encouraging and enlightening. During this episode, we all talk about the importance of understanding your partner and learning what you both need to do and understand to succeed and thrive, individually, and as a couple in a neurodiverse relationship.

As more and more adults are diagnosed with autism (or they self-diagnose), it is critical that we find ways to understand and accept the various neurotypes that exist. We all bring strengths and opportunities for improvement to our professional and personal lives, however, if we are quick to judge or negate each other, and don't seek understanding and acceptance, we lose out on so many wonderful learning, healing and growth opportunities. Many partners in Neurodiverse Love relationships may be dealing with the Cassandra Syndrome. This happens when they share with others some of the unique experiences they are having with their partner and no one believes their partner is autistic. During this episode we address these issues and ask listeners to share what happened when they shared with family or friends that they were in a Neurodiverse Love relationship.

During this episode Olga and Mona discuss the difference between starting a relationship and knowing your partner is neurodivergent at the beginning, versus finding out after over 25 years of marriage. Is one easier then the other and if so, why?

In this episode we talk about how important it was for us to let go of the things we dreamed of having and experiencing in our Neurodiverse Love relationships. In addition, we have learned over time that having expectations of our partners caused a lot of emotional pain and disappointment. While there are strengths and challenges in every relationship, in the beginning of a ND relationship you are often your partner's special interest. During that time, they want to do whatever they can to please you. Once that changes and they focus on a new special interest or one they had prior to you entering their life, you can experience sadness and loneliness. This change can been emotionally draining as you wonder "were my expectations too high" or "should I have no expectations at all"?

Mona and Olga are both comfortable with most change, and don't need to know, or understand the details regarding every aspect of their lives. Instead, they tried to "go with the flow" as much as possible and find joy and the lessons to learn in the ups and downs of life. In their Neurodiverse Love relationships change was a major challenge for their partners and "going with the flow" could lead to anxiety, anger or other negative reactions from their partners. Knowing the importance of preparation or planning in a ND relationship can help reduce these challenges and this is what the episode will focus on.

Our conversation with Joanne Hatchard delves into some of the experiences she has had as a neurodivergent woman that have helped her learn to embrace herself fully, while creating a very flexible loving path to parenting her son who is also neurodiverse. She also shares some of the lessons she has learned from her own childhood, being a mother and how embracing all her strengths and challenges with her life partner has made her Neurodiverse Love relationship thrive. Joanne is a social worker who works with clients who want to "cut through the crap" to live their best life. She says her clients call her the Marie Kondo of the brain! Joanne made us laugh and tear up and she is an inspiring, educational guest. Many of you may find her story helpful as her story will help you learn more about yourself, your relationship with your children and your romantic partners.

As the neurotypical partners in our relationships, we often felt like we had to make SO many concessions with our partners. Whenever they were on the verge of a shutdown or a meltdown, or actively in one of those phases, we found ourselves repeatedly making changes in ourselves and our relationships to reduce our partners anxiety, anger or stress. While we both wanted to be supportive of our partners, we have also realized that we repeatedly compromised parts of ourselves, and that this began to have a negative impact on our emotional well-being. We also learned that we stepped in to "rescue" our exes, when we probably should have stepped away or created healthy boundaries that could have helped empower our exes. Two of the important lessons we learned on this journey were: 1) not to take things personal; and 2) to make sure not to morph into someone we no longer recognize, just so that we can stay in our neurodiverse love relationship.

When you love your partner, but don't know how to address the challenges you are both experiencing, it is easy to lose yourself as you try to maintain hope in your Neurodiverse Love relationship. In this episode, Olga talks about why her ex left their relationship and Mona shares why she chose to move forward on separating from her ex. Understanding what would be required by both partners to maintain the Neurodiverse Love relationship made making some critical decisions a bit easier. However, there is no easy answer! When both partners aren't willing to work on making improvements individually and as a couple, things can get even more challenging. In the end, Mona and Olga are both thriving as individuals and know they have learned so much in every relationship they have been in with men on the Autism Spectrum.

Understanding neurodiversity has helped us both learn that we sometimes trusted our partners and prioritized their needs, at the expense of ourselves and our emotional and physical well-being. At various times, we thought our exes were trying to control things that happened in our relationship. However, looking back, we now realize that their actions were an attempt to maintain the equilibrium they had created (or craved) in their lives. Unfortunately, at the time, this looked like they were trying to control us and many of the major life decisions that we should have been making together. As we know, healthy romantic partnerships involve respectful communication, give and take, and trusting each other. Unfortunately, these were not always present in our relationships, and some major decisions were made unilaterally by our partners, tin an attempt o control their environment and maintain equilibrium in their lives. We are sharing this information because others in neurodiverse relationships may have experienced similar challenges, and sometimes it helps to know that you are not alone. We now know that logically discussing, defining and agreeing on what partnership looks like for each person in our relationships may have been a helpful way to avoid some of the challenges that we experienced in our neurodiverse relationships.

The more we have learned about Autism Spectrum Differences (ASD) and Neurodiversity, the more we understand the men we were in relationships with. In the beginning of our relationships, the men we fell in love with shared the best parts of themselves with us and made us believe that anything was possible. However, as we really got to know these wonderful men, things changed very quickly. Because we believed they were capable of achieving anything they focused on, we supported their dreams and held on to the hope that the story we were told in the earlier parts of our relationships would hold true as things moved forward. Understanding the different languages that neurodiverse couples speak, has helped us see where we made some assumptions that may have negatively impacted us and our relationships.

We all have different ways of coping and dealing with the challenges in our lives. In this episode, Mona and Olga talk about some of the coping mechanisms they have used in their neurodiverse love relationships, and some that were used by their exes. Whether you are neurodiverse or neurotypical, understanding how best to cope with the ups and downs in your relationships is very important. This episode may raise some questions for the listeners and we look forward to hearing from those of you that have something to share about the benefits (or challenges) of the coping mechanisms you, or your partners, have used in your neurodiverse love relationships.

Rachel provides some more insight on her experiences being raised by neurodiverse parents. She has such a wonderful perspective on the strengths of both of her parents and has learned how to speak and understand both of their "languages" (emotional/feelings and rational/logical). Rachel and her dad have always shared so many special interests and having Mona as her "Momna" has created opportunities for expanded social skills and the ability to try new things and take risks, which didn't always come easily.

Making, nurturing and maintaining friendships in a neurodiverse world can sometimes be difficult.

Neither one of us knew how to handle meltdowns and shutdowns, but we experienced both. Both were challenging to deal with and were emotionally draining for us and probably our exes. Knowing your partner is neurodiverse can definitely help you deal with these issues, but unfortunately neither one of us were prepared enough to handle these as well as we would have liked to.

Emotional reciprocity is very important in most relationships. It occurs when your partner is able to share his/her emotions, thoughts and feelings with you and have back and forth conversations about issues that are important to each of you as both individuals and romantic partners. Without emotional reciprocity, your partner may fail to initiate or respond to any social interactions with you, especially those that involve emotions (yours or theirs). Nothing can prepare you for a partner who doesn't understand your emotions. thoughts or feelings. To many, this may look like a lack of empathy, however because your partner is on the spectrum they may literally "not" have the bandwith or the knowledge regarding how to respond to you during a conversation or an argument . In addition, it may seem like your autistic partner lacks "theory of mind" as it may be difficult for them to predict and interpret your behavior and they may just shutdown. This can lead to a lot of emotional pain, loneliness and feelings of neglect for the neurotypical/allistic partner. During this episode, Mona and Olga talk about the challenges they experienced when they just didn't understand why some conversations with their ex's could be so challenging, and how that lead to anger, sadness and disappointment for everyone involved.

This is a topic that might be very difficult for some neurodiverse couples to discuss, however by not understanding and addressing our emotional and physical intimacy needs both partners may struggle unnecessarily. In this episode we talk about how physical intimacy was one of the strengths in our relationships with our ex's. We also share how important finding the right level of emotional and physical intimacy is to creating and sustaining a healthy relationship.

During this episode we share how our exes would spend lots of time researching any medical issues they were experiencing, and then they would go to the doctor for a second opinion. Sometimes this created challenges at the office visit with the doctor, because they thought they knew more then the doctor did! However, when we didn't want to do the in-depth research on a medical issue we were experiencing, or when we didn't know the right questions to ask the doctors, our exes were ready and willing to step in.

We both traveled a lot during our relationships and each of us had unique challenges getting ready to travel and during each trip we took. If you don't know you are in a neurodiverse relationship there are so many challenges that can add stress to traveling. Our partners had to leave the comfort of their homes and safe environments to travel to a place they may want to go to, but there was less control then when they were at home. Clear communication about timelines and what activities would be taking place during the trip would have been very helpful for us to share with our ex's to avoid some stressful experiences.
