S5E76: Neurodivergent Love and Marriage
Episode 76
Friday, 14 November, 2025
Welcome back to Season 5 of Special Needs Kids Are People Too, and our first episode: Neurodivergent Love and Marriage! In this season we are going to be talking about Neurodivergent Adulthood!Parents often ask me about Neurodivergent Adulthood, whether it is because they want to know why kind of life they are preparing their child for or because they are only just now grappling with their own neurodivergence!I decided the best place to start was with what I consider to be the most impactful decision I have made and that was to get married!Love and marriage takes a lot of hard work from both partners, which is why it doesn't always work out because both partners must be 100% all in!However, when we can find a partner who "gets us," shares our values, and brings different strengths to the partnership than we do, it can enable us to be far more than we could be by ourselves!I find this to be particularly true for neurodivergent partners. We tend to have an odd assortment of extreme strengths and weaknesses, and having a partner with different strengths and weaknesses that inspires us to continue to grow, can be a huge benefit!Join us today and hear more about Neurodivergent Love and Marriage!Check out the Show Notes for a links to Amy's Resources!Show Notes: https://amybodkin.com/podcast-episode-76For more info about Amy Bodkin, a Special Needs Consultant for parents and professionals, visit our website: Amy Bodkin Consulting – Seeing the Possibilities through a Neurodivergent Lens because Special Needs Kids Are People Too!
