How do you create a low-demand partnership while raising neurodivergent kids? This week, I sit down with Lindsay and Daryl Flanagan—fellow low-demand parents—who share their journey of shifting from traditional parenting to a more intuitive, needs-centered approach. We explore how dropping demands for each other and for our children has transformed their relationship and family life.

In this episode, we discuss:

✔️ Letting go of traditional expectations in relationships and parenting.

✔️ Navigating marriage when one or both partners are neurodivergent.

✔️ The power of humor, shorthand phrases, and texting in low-demand communication.

✔️ How to balance needs and avoid resentment in a partnership.

✔️ Understanding PDA in both kids and adults—and how it impacts relationships.

✔️ Why acknowledging capacity (not intent) is key to mutual respect.

If you’re wondering how to create a partnership that thrives alongside parenting neurodivergent kids, this episode is for you! 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts!
