Together, weβll explore relationships, communication, emotional processing, nervous system differences, family dynamics, and the science behind why people think, feel, and connect so differently.
Because clarity changes everything.

"Why Won't My Autistic Partner Compliment Me?" with Jodi Carlton & Mona Kay
Season 6 Β· Episode 12
Sunday, November 1, 2026 β’ Duration 14:31
Is it common for autistic partners to not compliment their partner's appearance? In this episode, Mona and I unpack one of the most common complaints in neurodiverse relationships β the lack of affirmations β and reveal why it's often a sign of a fundamentally different way of experiencing love, not a lack of caring. Plus, for those wondering if this behavior suggests narcissism, we've included a "secret clue" that helps distinguish neurotype differences from narcissism.

Sexual Consent & Abuse in Neurodiverse Relationship - Podcast
Season 6 Β· Episode 11
Tuesday, October 13, 2026 β’ Duration 22:18
When a partner claims that autism means they "don't understand consent," where does neurodivergence end and abuse begin? Jodi Carlton and Mona Kay unpack the difference between autistic behavior and abusive behavior, why "no means no" applies regardless of neurotype, and how media scripts and porn can distort expectations around consent for black-and-white thinkers. They also discuss the yes/no/maybe checklist, masking in neurodiverse marriages, the fawning response, and when ignoring a partner's "no" crosses the line into narcissistic and exploitive behavior.
This episode discusses interpersonal violence (IPV), sexual abuse, and related topics. If you may be triggered by this conversation, please take care of yourself. Resources are listed below.

Neurodivergence & Medical Gaslighting: It's Not All in Your Head | S6E10
Season 6 Β· Episode 10
Tuesday, September 29, 2026 β’ Duration 17:40
Medical gaslighting is when your experience of your body is denied or dismissed by a medical professional. Neurodivergent people frequently experience this even though providers don't always realize the harm they're doing.
When we talk about neurodivergence, we usually focus on the mind β but what about the body? In this episode of our "Navigating Neurodiverse Love & Life" series, my co-host Mona Kay and I dive into the physical side of neurodivergence that too often gets dismissed, misunderstood, or flat-out ignored by the medical system.
From dysautonomia and migraines to depression as a physiological experience, Mona and I share our own lived experiences with bodies that don't regulate the way they're "supposed to." We discuss the gut-brain connection, pain sensitivity differences across the autism/ADHD spectrum, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, seasonal affective disorder, hormones, and why so many of us have spent years feeling like we were "making it all up" β only to discover our symptoms were real all along.
I also share the story of a doctor who recently reached out wanting to learn more about his neurodivergent patients, and why that kind of curiosity gives me hope. We talk about medical gaslighting, why even well-meaning physicians miss the signs, and what needs to change in medical training so neurodivergent patients stop falling through the cracks.
Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, love someone who is, or you're a professional working with neurodivergent clients, this conversation is a reminder that validation changes everything.

What happens when two people in a neurodiverse relationship remember the same conversation completely differently?
This week, Mona and I explore the memory and communication disconnects that can put neurodiverse couples in what I call βthe boxing ringββwhere partners become opponents, each trying to prove whoβs right and whoβs wrong.
From the partner who remembers every word but misses the meaning to the one who remembers the feeling but not the details, we break down why this happensβand why it doesnβt have to be a deal breaker.
We also talk about executive functioning in daily life, the cereal box story, and important questions every couple should ask before moving in together.
