If you’re neurodivergent, you already know regulation can feel like chasing something that keeps slipping through your fingers. In this episode, Jeremy Rochford takes a practical look at what it really means to become more regulated—and why it’s not about “fixing yourself” but about creating rhythms that work for your unique wiring. You’ll discover how to spot your personal stress signals earlier, how to build in small resets before burnout hits, and why regulation is more about building systems that fit you than trying to copy what works for everyone else. 

Jeremy also dives into the staying-regulated side of the equation: the everyday practices, environments, and mindsets that help you hold steady instead of bouncing between calm and chaos. Whether you’re navigating work deadlines, parenting on overload, or just trying to get through a noisy grocery store without shutting down, you’ll walk away with simple, sustainable tools to help you stay grounded. This is about thriving in your neurodivergence—not in spite of it.

Feedback doesn’t have to feel like walking into a minefield. In this episode of Better Feedback, Better Relationships, Jeremy Rochford unpacks the art of giving and receiving feedback in ways that build trust rather than break it. Drawing from personal stories, practical frameworks, and a few lessons learned the hard way, Jeremy explores why most feedback conversations go sideways—and how to shift them toward connection, clarity, and growth.

Whether you’re navigating marriage, parenting, or professional life, the ability to both share truth and hear truth is a game-changer. Jeremy breaks down how to create safe spaces for honest dialogue, why your delivery matters as much as your words, and how feedback—when done well—can actually deepen relationships instead of damaging them. If you’ve ever avoided hard conversations or braced yourself when someone says, “Can we talk?”, this episode offers the tools to move from fear to freedom.

So much of what the world “knows” about autism comes from stereotypes, secondhand assumptions, or outdated ideas. In this episode, Jeremy pulls back the curtain and shares 25 raw, honest truths that autistic people wish you really understood. From sensory overload to social fatigue, from the way words land differently to the need for recovery time—these aren’t just quirks or preferences, they’re real experiences that shape daily life. By walking through these insights with both clarity and compassion, Jeremy invites you to see the world through autistic eyes.

Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, partner, teacher, or friend, this episode will help you bridge the gap between “knowing about autism” and actually understanding autistic people. The goal isn’t pity or perfection—it’s empathy & understanding. With candid storytelling and practical takeaways, you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation of why connection sometimes feels complicated, and how small shifts in awareness can make relationships not just easier, but richer.

* Disclaimer- this episode is specificly for married &/or long term couples. There's nothing crazy, but we do use the word "itimacy" a few times and would rather be safe and let everyone know. 

Without further ado-

Most advice about emotional intimacy and romance assumes you experience connection the “typical” way — but for many Autistics, that’s like being handed directions in a language you don’t speak. You may deeply love your partner, yet struggle to read the unspoken cues they rely on. You may crave closeness, but find the process of getting there exhausting or confusing. And no one ever sat you down to explain that this isn’t about being cold or unfeeling — it’s about having a different wiring for how you notice, process, and express emotions. The result? You both feel misunderstood, even when your love is real.

In this episode, we break open the myths and unspoken rules around Autistics and emotional intimacy. You’ll learn why “trying harder” rarely works, what to focus on instead, and how to create a romantic connection that feels safe and authentic for both partners. We’ll share stories, practical steps, and mindset shifts that can help you move past the fear of getting it wrong and into the joy of getting it real. Because once you understand how your brain works — and how your partner’s does too — romance isn’t about meeting some impossible standard. It’s about building a rhythm of connection that’s yours alone.

Does it always have to be about my Autism? In this candid episode, Jeremy unpacks a question many neurodivergent adults quietly wrestle with: when conflict shows up in your relationships, is it really about autism—or just being human? Drawing from personal experience, scientific evidence,  and years supporting neurodiverse couples, Jeremy explores how self-doubt and defensiveness (amongst other things) can creep in when you feel like every disagreement gets traced back to your diagnosis. He breaks down why this happens, what it costs you emotionally, and why it’s so important to separate genuine autistic traits from the universal challenges of partnership.

You’ll also hear practical strategies to help you figure out whether autism is at the core of a conflict—or whether something else, like communication style, stress, or mismatched expectations, is driving the tension. If you’ve ever felt frustrated by the sense that you’re “always the problem,” or wondered how to advocate for yourself without dismissing real differences, this conversation will give you tools to find clarity and build connection. Whether you’re autistic, partnered with someone who is, or simply curious about how neurodiverse relationships work, you’ll walk away with fresh insight and a little more understanding for everyone involved.
