Finding Your Rhythm: How Neurodivergent Couples Build Connection Without Losing Themselves


In this validating and grounded Therapy Insights Tuesday episode of Love on the Autism Spectrum, therapist and neurodivergent coach Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony, LMFT, invites you to embrace a quiet but transformative truth: your pace is not a problem.


Whether you connect quickly or slowly, speak with urgency or pause to process, your rhythm is part of your nervous system wisdom, especially in neurodiverse relationships, where mismatched timing often creates confusion or shame.


You’ll explore:

  • How rushing, freezing, or pulling away are often signs of regulation, not rejection
  • The ways autistic and ADHD relational rhythms show up—and why both are valid
  • How to recognize when you’re overriding your natural pace (and how to reclaim it)


Blaze offers gentle stories, affirming insights, and a reflective Home Play prompt to help you notice where you're rushing yourself in love—and what it feels like to honor your real timing.


This episode will help you:

  • Build emotional safety by honoring your nervous system
  • Shift from self-judgment to self-acceptance in connection
  • Communicate your relational rhythm with more clarity and kindness


Love doesn’t ask you to sync perfectly. It asks you to move honestly, in rhythm with your truth.
