"Neurodivergents Gonna Neurodiverge!" (A.K.A. - We're Not Broken, We Just Do Relationships Differently!)
Hey all, and welcome back to another episode of The Neurodivergent Polyamorist! In this episode, Adam gets vulnerable and shares how, when he was diagnosed as Autistic in the '90s, his parents were told that he'd never be able to fall in love or form meaningful social relationships. We then dissect the crap out of that comment and argue instead that while those words may hold true from a neurotypical perspective, they neglect to take into account all the myriad wonderful ways that neurodivergent humans do relationships differently. Neurodivergents gonna neurodiverge, if you will, and that's both okay and beautiful!
So if this sounds like your kind of episode, then sit back, put those headphones on, click play, and come with us on another neurodivergent journey through relationship land. We promise we'll be here for you every step of the way!
...and by the way - if you want to attend Adam's virtual talk on the importance of listening to neurodivergent stories at Burlington Literary Festival this year (its coming up this weekend!) be sure to click the link below and RSVP! The event is free and spots are going fast!
