Neuro Diversity and Relationships

Late diagnosis of ADHD or AS in adulthood can be a source of intense retrospective grief and resentment. How could it have been overlooked?

Here are 5 relationship strategies that you can put into practice in 2025. Make your goals relational and watch it transform your life.

When I first started working with neurodivergent diagnoses a decade ago, little was known about the co-occurrences we can identify today. Here we look at what conditions can co-occur with ADHD and AS, and how understanding this can be helpful.

The festive season can often be a minefield for neurodivergent individuals. However, with planning it’s possible to navigate it with grace.

On Thursday, 21st November, 19:00 – 20:30 GMT, I am doing a webinar for ADHD Aware titled “Neurodiversity and How It Impacts Couples”

Executive Function (EF) is a set of cognitive skills that help us manage our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It’s the brain’s overseer for everything from planning and organising to problem-solving and decision-making. When EF is impaired, it can significantly impact daily life, leading to work, relationships, and personal well-being challenges.

After over a decade of working with couples affected by neurodivergence (ND), I’ve assembled a dedicated team of therapists to address the growing demand for specialised support. Our team consists of classically trained couple therapists who understand the impact neurodivergence can have on the couple dynamic.
