Is my relationship impacted by Neurodiversity? If so, how and what next?

Welcome to our online event where Karen Doherty will explore how neurodivergence can affect relationships.

Karen will talk you through how to identify which ND traits impact your relationship and offer strategies for how to work with them.

Is it…..

• Communication:- unclear messaging heard in multiple ways and often full of assumption.
• Emotional deregulation - including RSD and its reactive responses
• Executive function - the unequal mental load leaving one partner overloaded and resentful
• Intimacy issues - both partners feeling lonely within the couple

We'll talk through strategies to improve the situation and there is a 45 mins Q& A for you to ask questions.
