Is this Sabotaging Intimacy in Your Neurodiverse Relationship? with Jodi Carlton & Mona Kay
YOUR Neurodiverse Relationship Podcast: Season 6 - Navigating Neurodiverse Love & Life - Episode 6
If you're in a neurodiverse relationship — whether you're ADHD, autistic, or both — intimacy can be one of the most complicated things to navigate. In this episode, Mona Kay & I get real about routines, spontaneity, physical intimacy, and the hidden pattern that quietly undermines intimacy for neurodiverse couples: fawning.
From date night strategies that actually work, to what happens when one partner has learned to tolerate instead of communicate — this conversation goes places most podcasts won't.
