This podcast is the narrated version of my article How to Help Your Asperger’s Client in Their Romantic Life.
Relationships can be hard to maintain for those on the autistic spectrum. Loneliness and isolation are common, as the seemingly random ‘noise’ of emotionality and human interaction leave them feeling constantly overwhelmed. Here are three ways to help your Asperger’s clients find the intimacy they seek
In this episode I talk about:
- What was causing the misfires in Simon’s relationship?
- Relationships and Asperger’s
- Context is everything
- I can see the trees, but where is the wood?
- How hard can it be to ask “How are you?”
- Feeling like an outsider in your own relationship
- Tip 1: Normalize the stress of relationships
- Tip 2: Encourage open dialogue about Asperger’s
- Tip 3: Teach relationship behavioural blueprints
