Description

This episode is being published on the third anniversary of the Neurodiverse Love podcast. It it has been an honor and a pleasure to release weekly episodes of the podcast for the last 3 years. If this podcast has helped you better understand yourself, your partner, or someone else in your life, I hope you will take a few minutes to send Mona an email at: [email protected] and share some of your story. During this episode, Mona has a fantastic conversation with Dan, the first man she dated during her separation. When Mona and Dan met in February, 2016, Mona didn't know she was in a neurodiverse marriage and Dan didn't know he was autistic. Mona's discussion with Dan provides a glimpse into the way we can choose to better understand ourselves, our past and present partners, our children, and the other important people in our lives. Our differences can create division or connection, and that is a choice we make daily in every relationship we have. Some of the topics discussed include: Discovering your neurodiversity through your child's diagnosis. Gaining understanding of your struggles. Costs associated with getting needs met. Letting go of emotional attachment. Understanding why there were difficulties in relationships. Having partners that want to change you. Giving the space to not judge yourself. People want to be validated and feel heard. Coping mechanisms. Letting go of your desire to please others and seek acceptance. Learning how to set clear boundaries. Triggering each other. There are times for doing, reflection, and rest. Everything has a season. A sense of social justice. Delusions of grandeur. Give yourself grace. We are always trying to find homeostasis and how gongs can help with that. Do you want to be right or happy? _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ If you would like to buy a digital deck of the Neurodiverse Love Conversation Cards, or get more information about the support groups that Mona facilitates for neurodiverse couples, or the neurotypical/non-autistic partners, check out her website at: www.neurodiverse love.com, or send her an email at: [email protected]
