Does Understanding NeuroDiversity Really Matter?

Grace and Stephanie discuss helping couples to gain a better understanding of who they each are, who their partner is, and how their neurological differences affect their relationship.Understanding the differences in neurology is crucial for anyone from coaches, ministers to counselors. Additional training and coursework are needed to better understand this couple's differences.If you want to learn more about NeuroDiverse Christian Couples from a faith-based perspective please check out Module 1, an 11-hour course of a several module series is available at:https://courses.christianneurodiversemarriage.com/collections?category=professionalsAbout Grace:Grace Myhill, MSW. AANE Director of The Peter M. Friedman Neurodiverse Couples Institute, AANE Director of Couples and Partners Services, and Neurodiverse Couples Coach in private practice.Grace's Approach:Working with neurodiverse couples in which one partner has an Asperger’s/Autism Spectrum Profile is my specialty. I understand the unique strengths and the challengesthat come with these relationships. We cannot change our neurologies, but I can help couples to gain a better understanding of who they each are, who their partner is, andhow their neurological differences affect their relationship.My approach is to first help couples understand the importance of neurology and what it means to be a neurodiverse couple. This includes getting to know how you and yourpartner each think and perceive the world. I help couples identify how their neurological similarities and differences affect the dynamics and interaction of their relationship.Together we can identify areas for skill-building and problem-solving. There are several ways you can work with me: individually, together with your partner, or in a group. We can meet by phone or video conferencing.For more information visit my website www.gracemyhill.com or email [email protected] or call me 617-504-3116.Grace works with various types of relationships and partnerships.Her website is https://www.gracemyhill.com/Disclaimer:When we have guests on the ASR podcast they are recognized in their expertise on autism as an advocate, self-advocate, clinician, parent or other professional in the field.
