We are so excited to share this episode with our listeners.  Kate and Clark have been married for 9 years and in October, 2020, Clark was officially diagnosed as autistic.  During this episode, this neurodiverse couple share openly and honestly about the ups and downs of being in a ND Love relationship.  They share how they met, what attracted them to each other, what it's like to receive an ASD diagnosis as a married adult with two children.  They also talk about how they are learning to handle communication challenges, the importance of emotional reciprocity, more effective ways to address meltdowns and shutdowns, the importance of time alone, and how being in a ND relationship is a lot like speaking two different languages and always trying to translate in your head, so you "get it right". This is the first time we have had a Neurodiverse couple on the podcast and we would love to hear from more neurodiverse couples who want to share their stories.  We also want to thank Kate and Clark for being both vulnerable and authentic with us.  Their love for each other is an inspiration and we really enjoyed talking with them during this episode. If you are the neurotypical in the relationship and would like to be a part of our "Neurodiverse Love" peer support group, please send us an email at: [email protected], or you can send us a DM on our Instagram page @neurodiverse_love.  The group meets twice a month through Zoom, for about an hour, and we will send you the Zoom link if you would like to join us.
