“My hope is that neurotypical individuals also invest in personal growth and understanding, both for the sake of their relationships with neurodivergent individuals and for enriching our society with diversity and creativity”. – Therapist Rebeeca Goldstein
INFORMATION FOR
PARTNERS OF A NEURODIVERGENT PERSON
communicating across neurotypes, it’s the little things, accepting each other, reaching for more, finding peace and living in harmony
Communicating across neurotypes can be challenging, whether you are neurotypical(NT) and your partner is neurodivergent(ND), or you are Autistic and your partner has AD(H)D. Understanding each other’s brain types is key to understanding what can and cannot change in your relationship.
Together, you need to develop a common language to fully understand each other’s needs and capacities and to slowly make the changes you can and decide whether you can live with the ones you can’t.
At Scattergram, we can act as your translator and guide as you move closer together to transform your relationship into one that is less lonely and frustrating or disentangle what isn’t working to set each other free.
