Eleanor Vincent is an author whose latest book is called Disconnected: Portrait of a Neurodiverse Marriage. In this memoir, she recounts her experience of courtship and marriage to a man on the autism spectrum and paints a picture of what it was like to build up hope, fall in love late in life, and fight to connect with her husband when their brains were wired in fundamentally different ways. Kari and Eleanor talk about relationship dynamics that start in childhood, romantic love, and grief.
