“I’m sorry” doesn’t always equal repair.

In neurodiverse relationships, words alone often miss the mark—especially when one partner needs emotional presence, and the other leans on logic, quick fixes, or shutdowns under pressure.

In this episode of Love on the Autism Spectrum, Blaze explores why standard apology scripts often fail in neurodiverse partnerships—and how to create moments of repair that actually land. This is Part 2 of a 3-part series on healing in neurodiverse relationships.

You’ll hear the story of a couple who learned to slow down, communicate their repair needs, and stop missing each other in the moments that mattered most. You’ll also receive a reflection-based Home Play exercise to help you and your partner unpack your own repair patterns and build safety through presence, not perfection.

Whether you’re the one offering “I’m sorry” or the one aching for something deeper, this episode will help you rethink repair and reconnect from a place of mutual understanding.
