Description
Being in a neurodiverse relationship can feel like you and your partner are dancing to different music. Even with love at the centre, it can feel impossible to find a rhythm.
This practical book is here to provide gentle instruction, guiding couples, where one or both are neurodivergent, to develop healthy and successful personal relationships. Experienced authors Michelle Garnett and Janelle Homan support couples to understand, accept, and respect neurodiversity as a natural part of the human experience. They provide a model for understanding the science of relationships, as well as practical toolkits which both partners can use for self-reflection and to improve their relationship.
This book is essential and relevant for any couple wanting to understand themselves and their relationship. Neurodiverse aware and affirming, it celebrates the dynamic spectrum and diversity that exists in the human experience, moving away from rigid classifications, towards understanding each person's unique constellation of attributes, neurodivergent traits, coping styles, and preferences.
