Say Hello - April 7 - Cassandra Group

Why Cassandra?

The Cassandra syndrome is an attempt to describe the experiences of the neurotypical partner in a neurodiverse relationship. The severity and impact of the relationship challenges can be overlooked, dismissed or minimised because everything “looks pretty good” from an external perspective.

The syndrome is named after a figure in Greek mythology, Cassandra, who was cursed to foresee the future, but no one ever believed her. In the context of neurodiverse relationships, partners may feel like no one—especially their partner—seems to hear and understand them.

Our group meets monthly (first Tuesday at 6pm in the Dickson Library) in a space to express your feelings and find the advice and support you need.
