In this must-listen episode, we tackle the difficult but important topic of abuse in relationships involving neurodivergent (autistic/ADHD) and neurotypical partners. Through anonymous personal stories shared on social media, we explore the unique challenges and power imbalances that can arise when communication styles and needs differ.
Our goal is to raise awareness around this complex issue, provide insights into healing from trauma, and offer resources for those affected by intimate partner violence or toxic relationships. While some content may be triggering, this candid discussion is essential for fostering understanding and healthier neurodivergent relationships.
Listener discretion advised.
