Although the global awareness of autism continues to show signs of growth, little empirical research has been done on the way in which neurodiversity impacts romantic relationships. The existing body of knowledge points at a severe state of distress in women who are in couple relationships with men on the autism spectrum. However, the literature is mainly based on personal accounts of these women, in many cases, without their partner being formally diagnosed. Most professionals aren’t trained or lack the experience to recognize or diagnose ASD in adults. Hence, they fail to provide efficient help for neurodiverse couples and women in neurodiverse relationships. Aiming to raise the awareness, change the existing situation and help these women and couples, Dr. Pnina Arad conducted an extensive quantitative study about the physical and mental well-being of women in neurodiverse relationships. During this episode she describes her research, shares the findings, and discusses the conclusions and implications of her study results.

A Wealth of Information
For as far back as I can remember I have had an affinity for neurodiverse people — especially children, but also adults. Listening to Mona Kay’s interview with Dr. Veronica Anderson may have provided some insight into why by revealing what may be some of my own neurodiversity. Whether the Goldilocks Zone, Double Empathy, the Core Wound of Failure or other very resonating revelations abound in each episode.
