5 Myths That Erode Connection in Neurodivergent Relationships

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the emotional heavy lifting in your relationship…
 If you’ve caught yourself thinking, Why do I have to spell everything out?
This episode is for you.

We’re exploring five common myths that quietly break down connection in relationships where one partner is neurodivergent, sometimes without either of you knowing it.

You might not have the language yet, but if your partner shuts down during simple conversations, struggles with change, or misses basic social cues, it’s worth asking what else could be going on beneath the surface.

Inside this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why being overwhelmed or rigid isn’t always about being difficult
• What “mind reading” expectations are doing to your relationship
• How to respond when you feel unsupported, without starting another fight
• The difference between not caring and not knowing how
• What you can shift today to feel less alone and more understood

We’re not here to hand out diagnoses. But if something in your dynamic feels off, or your resentment keeps growing, this might help you see your partner in a new way and help them see you too.

Let’s talk about what’s really going on. Because the more you understand, the less personal it starts to feel. And that’s where change begins.
