About Course

This 2-hour course provides clinicians and community members with a comprehensive, neurodiversity-affirming framework for supporting neurodivergent and cross-neurotype couples in areas of communication, intimacy, conflict resolution, and relational safety. Drawing from neurodivergent-led scholarship, current empirical research, and clinical practice, the course examines how divergent communication styles shape relational dynamics. Participants will learn tools for co-regulation, pacing, conflict repair, and navigating intimacy; including considerations related to sexuality, kink/BDSM, and neuroqueer relational practices. Cultural, systemic, and intersectional factors influencing communication and relational expectations are integrated throughout.

What Will You Learn?

  • Integrate the neurodiversity paradigm into relational work by understanding neuronormativity, the double empathy problem, and cross-neurotype communication challenges.
  • Recognize the influence of interoception, alexithymia, executive functioning, sensory overload, and trauma histories on emotional access, communication, and relational safety.
  • Apply neurodiversity-affirming approaches that support embodied emotional awareness, co-regulation, pacing, and intentional repair.
  • Support clients in reframing intimacy, sexuality, and relational roles through a neuroqueer, culturally responsive, and intersectional lens.

I was looking for a deeper dive and I appreciate the content offered and think it's great for folks who are just starting to work with sexuality within a neurodiversity paradigm!
