Neurodivergence & Relationships: Different Ways of Connecting

Neurodiversity refers to the natural differences in how human brains work, process information, and experience the world. There is no single “right” way for a brain to function — each person brings a unique way of thinking, feeling, learning, sensing, and communicating.

In relationships, these differences can shape how people connect, express emotions, handle conflict, and respond to each other’s needs. What may feel intuitive or easy for one person may feel overwhelming, confusing, or inaccessible for another — not because of lack of care, but because brains work differently.

This in-person meetup offers a reflective and non-judgmental space to explore how neurodivergence shows up in relationships, without labels being required and without framing anyone as the problem.

This is not couples therapy and not a diagnostic space.
It’s an opportunity to build understanding, language, and awareness around relational dynamics

What We’ll Explore:
✅ What neurodiversity means in the context of adult relationships
✅ How differences in cognition, attention, sensory processing, communication, and emotional regulation affect connection
✅ Common patterns of misunderstanding — and what helps reduce frustration and self-blame
