When neurodiverse partners have different thresholds for household tasks and even relationship involvement, it is common for a "parent-child" dynamic to emerge. One partner takes on an authoritative role that issues directives, and the other becomes more child-like waiting on tasks to be assigned (and sometimes resisting to follow through). This type of dynamic does NOT work in any relationship. In this BONUS clip, I discuss why, and how to address it in your relationship.
