When Your Man is On the Spectrum-To Know, Understand and Transform Your Relationship-Author & Neurodiverse Couples Coach-Dr. Pnina Arad-

For her doctoral dissertation, Dr. Pnina Arad conducted ground-breaking research with women in neurodiverse relationships and published her book, "When Your Man is On the Spectrum-To Know, Understand and Transform Your Relationship" to share all that she learned during her research.  During this episode, Pnina provides us with insightful information that will help provide neurodiverse couples with ways in which they can better understand each other and begin to build a healthy neurodiverse relationship.    Our discussion about some of the key differences and misunderstandings that neurodiverse couples may be experiencing can help both partners navigate their different social, emotional and thinking world that they both may find confusing.  In addition, we talk about the "Lost Generation" of autistic adults that never received supports they may have benefited from, because when they were growing up in the 1950's, 1960's and 1970's, at a time when Asperger Syndrome and Autism Spectrum Disorder were not diagnoses in the DSM. One of the many important lessons that listeners can take away from this episode is that each partner has strengths, needs to work to understand their triggers and opportunities for improvement, and that both partners can work together to make accommodations and changes to create a healthy "Neurodiverse Love" relationship. Pnina lives in Israel where many autistic people are not diagnosed and she is one of the only professionals in Israel providing coaching to neurodiverse couples.
