Welcome to the Myth Busting Neurodiverse Relationships Podcast, with hosts Natalie Roberts and Heather Parks, busting myths about neurodiverse relationships that we’ve realised aren’t true and that were preventing us from recovering and having the relationships and connection with partners and children that we desperately wanted. We’re here to give you hope that change is possible!

In this episode we’re busting the myth that we were conned when we were dating and our partner isn’t really who we fell in love with!
This was a really pervasive myth that we discovered in the early days of neurodiversity arriving into our awareness and we know that many still see it that way.
We realised it really affected the way we thought about our partner and definitely increased the levels of resentment, disappointment and disconnection we experienced.
As we learned more about ourselves and about relationships, in ways we’d not been aware of before, we had some new thinking and perspectives to bring to this idea and it made a big difference to how we thought about and related to our partners.
What is Loving Difference?
We’re an online membership community bringing together anyone in a neurodiverse relationship who’s looking for new ways to reverse the impact of unknown neurodiversity and thrive in their relationship and life. Loving Difference is hosted by Coaches with experience navigating life with difference.
We guide members to learn about themselves and their loved ones in a safe, non-judgmental community so that we can inspire and encourage each other to love the unconventional and beautiful differences in ourselves and in our homes.
Lots of love,
