🧠 Most people think intimacy means sex.

But in many relationships, especially where ADHD or autism is involved that’s not the real issue.

It’s two nervous systems trying to understand each other.

In this episode of Even The Dog Has ADHD, I’m joined by Angela Griffiths, who brings decades of experience working with couples and intimate relationships. Together, we explore what’s really happening beneath the surface when connection breaks down.

This is an honest conversation about sex, communication, sensory needs, medication, and the often unspoken reality of neurodivergent relationships.

If you’ve ever felt misunderstood in your relationship, or struggled to understand your partner, this episode will land.

🔍 What we explore:

1. Why intimacy is often misunderstood in neurodivergent relationships
2. The role of sensory processing in sex and physical connection
3. Communication differences and how they create disconnection
4. Medication, libido, and emotional regulation
5. Why it’s not about a “broken relationship” but different wiring
6. How couples can begin to understand each other more clearly

🧠 Who this is for:

• Adults with ADHD or autism
• Partners of neurodivergent individuals
• Couples navigating intimacy challenges
• Anyone curious about how wiring shapes relationships
