Misunderstandings are inevitable. Repair is what makes the relationship strong.

In this episode of Love on the Autism Spectrum, Blaze explores why repair is one of the most essential practices in neurodiverse relationships. Not just as a way to clean up after a fight—but as the foundation for trust, connection, and emotional safety. This is Part 3 in a 3-part series on healing in relationships.

You’ll hear the story of a couple who redefined what repair looked like in their relationship—moving from mismatched expectations to a co-created rhythm that honored both neurotypes.

This episode validates both the partner who initiates repair and the one who struggles with it. You'll learn how different nervous systems experience conflict, how repair can happen through action and words, and why showing up—even imperfectly—matters more than getting it right.

💡 Includes a practical Home Play prompt to explore and share your unique repair needs.

🎧 Listen now and learn how to make repair a living, breathing part of your relationship—one that holds you both with care.
