When you love someone who is wired differently,
you need different support--you'll find it here!

Connection. Education. Permission. Everything you need to discover and honor your authentic, expansive self while navigating the joys and challenges of a neurodiverse relationship.

The best way to improve your relationship with your partner is to stop trying to change how they relate to you and start changing how you relate to yourself. The better you relate to you, the better your partner will be able to understand you, see you, and connect with you. As you find yourself, accept yourself, and love yourself you'll begin to shift your relationship in ways that once felt impossible--doors will open, pathways will emerge. 

Stop putting your partner and their needs ahead of yours. Stop simmering in resentment, loneliness, and exhaustion. Stop falling into the same 

Includes:
Mini-lessons on self-relationship, relationship patterns and neurodiversity 
Group discussions with peers who can relate deeply to you 
Tools, exercises, and journal prompts to help you integrate and practice what you learn 

Neurotypical relating: ven diagram with overlap 
Neurodiverse relating: two touching circles (neurotypicals often encroach on nd space looking for connection, but paradoxically connection is best fostered when both partners have the space they need to be themselves) 

Attend to your own circle, find contentment with yourself and within yourself. 
*"Neurotypical" is the most commonly used terminology to describe a non-autistic partner in relationship with someone on the autism spectrum, but many of these partners are neurodivergent in their own way, including (but not limited to) ADHD and/or C-PTSD. I personally prefer the term "allistic", which includes everyone who is not autistic, but at times use the term "neurotypical" as it is more widely recognized.

This course is not for you if...
  • You're done with the groundhog's day feeling of having the same conflicts over & over & are serious about trying a different approach to your relationship
  • You want to be more accepting & understanding toward your partner, but you keep getting stuck in feelings of resentment, blame, and frustration
  • You're comfortable questioning social norms & are open to going against commonly accepted relationship advice & expectations
  • You're eager to connect with others who have similar relationship experiences & to be a part of a group where everyone is committed to growing together 
  • You're more interested in complaining about your partner than in looking at your own ability to make changes in your relationship
  • You have a narrow, negative view of how people with autism think, feel, & behave; you bristle at the notion of becoming "neurodiversity affirming"
  • You're rigidly holding onto neurotypical relationship ideals & don't like having your thinking challenged or living outside of other people's expectations of you
  • You're not able to show kindness, respect, & care toward people who make different choices or hold different values that you do
