“I’m not failing as a human, I’m thriving as an autistic human.”

Dr. Wendy Marsh is here to chat with me about neurodivergent couples. Wendy has the lived experience of being married to an autistic man for nearly 30 years, along with the professional experience of working with autistic kids and adults for most of her career. Here are just a few things that we talk about:

• Myths about autistic individuals and relationships
• Autistic qualities that work really well in relationships
• Sexual functioning in neurodivergent relationships
• Similarities and differences with neurotypical couples

I’m a licensed psychologist and Clinical Director at the Colorado Center for Assessment & Counseling, a private practice that I founded in 2009 and grew to include nine licensed clinicians, three clinicians in training, and a full administrative staff. I earned my undergraduate degree in Experimental Psychology from the University of South Carolina before getting my Master’s and PhD in Counseling Psychology from Colorado State University. These days, I specialize in psychological and neuropsychological evaluation with kids and adolescents.

As the host of the Testing Psychologist Podcast, I provide private practice consulting for psychologists and other mental health professionals who want to start or grow psychological testing services in their practices. I live in Fort Collins, Colorado with my wife (also a therapist) and two young kids.
