About Neurodiverse Love-Sharing Lessons Learned and Lived Experiences in Neurodiverse Relationships
Does it often feel like you and your partner are speaking two different languages, but you're not? Whether you know that you, or your partner is autistic (aka: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger's), hearing our stories and the experiences of our guests, will help you feel understood! We share what attracted us to our past or current partners, and we also "get real" about the challenges and lessons learned regarding emotional and social differences, thinking and processing differences, and sensory issues. No relationship is perfect, but we believe "when you know better, you CAN do better"!

Why Do We Deal With Emotions So Differently?
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.

Self Care and Feeling Our Emotions: How This Helps Us Grow
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.
Thank you for listening!:-)
