Adulting with Autism

Navigating the Dating Dumpster Fire: Insights with Valerie Greene


Listen Later

Hey guys, happy Wednesday! 🎉 I’m back with full energy and my voice (after a little hiccup yesterday), and I’m so excited to be here with you. This week, we’re diving into dating—and let’s be honest, sometimes it feels like a dumpster fire, right? Whether you're neurodivergent or neurotypical, dating apps have completely changed the game, and it's a wild ride out there. Remember the good old days of passing notes and having a wingman? Yeah, me too!

I’m super excited to introduce today’s guest, Valerie Greene, a relationship expert who specializes in helping neurodivergent adults break free from old patterns and find the love they deserve. Valerie has a unique understanding of the neurodivergent mind, and her insights are seriously transformative. In this episode, we chat about everything from how dating apps are shaping modern relationships to how to create secure emotional connections and, of course, how to spot and avoid those dreaded red flags.

Whether you’re new to the dating scene or navigating a long-term relationship, this episode is packed with actionable advice and valuable insights to help you build stronger, more fulfilling connections. So grab your drink of choice and settle in because we’re going deep into the world of neurodivergent dating with lots of laughs along the way.

And if you’re in a relationship with some red flags, Valerie has some tips on that too, so don’t miss out!

Also, don’t forget to join the Adulting with Autism Facebook group—it’s a great space to connect with others who get it—and check out our website at adultingwithautism.com. We’ve got blogs, merch (yes, cute t-shirts!), and tons of resources. Your support means the world to me, and I’m so grateful for all of you.

I can’t wait to see you again on Saturday for Part 2 of this dating adventure. Keep adulting and remember, relationships don’t have to be a dumpster fire—let's make them thrive!
