Could I Really Be Autistic? Your First Steps to Self Discovery-Sarah Hendrickx

The intro and first two episodes of the Neurodiverse Love Docuseries are available here. The first episode addresses communication differences and the second episode focuses on emotional reciprocity. Through this four part series, you will meet four Neurodiverse couples who share some of their lived experiences, lessons learned and the strengths, challenges and differences they’ve had in their marriages. None of the couples knew they were in a mixed neurotype relationship when they married and each shares some of the experiences that have led to more connection, understanding and acceptance of each other’s differences.In addition, you will hear from three coaches/therapists who work with Neurodiverse couples. They share their perspective on why challenges may be occurring and also provide strategies and tools for increasing connection.To contribute to this very important project or watch the intro to the couples and therapists/coaches and the first two episodes click here.—————————————————————————-During this episode, Sarah Hendrickx talks about the new book that she co-authored with her daughter Jess.
