YOUR Neurodiverse Relationship with Jodi Carlton, MEd

In this solo podcast episode, #JodiCarlton delves into the intricacies of dating for both #autistic individuals and #neurotypicals dating someone on the spectrum. Drawing from my experiences with long-term couples, she emphasizes the importance of recognizing red flags early on in relationships. Key topics include the dangers of not being your authentic self, patterns of harmful behavior, boundary issues, and intimacy misalignments. She also addresses the concept of capacity and developmental stunting in autistic partners and how these can manifest in relationships.

Additionally, she explores common justifications for staying in unhealthy relationships and the critical mistake of falling for someone's potential rather than their current reality. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the dating world, particularly in neurodiverse contexts, and provides valuable insights for setting up future generations for success in their relationships.

My relationships with neurodiverse family and friends have been my personal training ground for understanding and helping partners and couples in their own relationships.

NARCISSISTIC ABUSE: I am also a survivor of narcissistic abuse and have experienced the narc abuse cycle. I have battled and healed from the codependency that results from having an abusive childhood. Narcissism and autism are completely different, but can often have similar confusion characteristics. A relationship with an autistic partner often has potential for fulfillment with coaching and guidance whereas a relationship with a narcissist is a dead end of toxic abuse. My subspecialty is helping men and women who need help figuring out their own partners.
