In Part 1, we explored why neurodiverse love can feel so hard—and what makes it work. In Part 2, Jeremy Rochford and Dr. Stephanie Holmes continue their heartfelt conversation with world-renowned autism expert Dr. Tony Attwood, diving even deeper into the complexities of connection between autistic and neurotypical partners.

Building on insights from his new book, Relationship Counselling with Autistic Neurodiverse Couples: A Guide for Professionals, Dr. Attwood unpacks how couples can move from misunderstanding to mutual respect, and from exhaustion to emotional safety. Together, the trio discuss the hidden layers of communication, why repair can be harder—but more meaningful—in neurodiverse relationships, and how small shifts in empathy and language can lead to profound transformation.

With honesty, humor, and hard-won wisdom, this follow-up conversation brings even more practical tools for therapists, coaches, and couples who want to make neurodiverse love not just possible—but deeply rewarding.
