Courses

Over the years of working with neurodiverse couples, I have observed recurring patterns that create confusion, exhaustion, and distance for both partners.

While every relationship is unique, many couples struggle with similar questions about communication, intimacy, expectations, and difference. The courses offered here are designed to address these areas in a structured, educational format.

They are intended to help you understand neurodiversity more clearly and to provide a shared language for reflecting on your relationship.

What These Courses Are — and Are Not

These courses are educational. They are not therapy, coaching, or diagnostic tools.

They do not tell you what to do, what to feel, or what decisions to make. They are designed to help you think more clearly about patterns that are often difficult to name from inside a relationship.

Many couples find it useful to engage with this material before beginning couple work. Doing so can provide a common framework and reduce the amount of basic orientation needed in early sessions.

How the Courses Are Structured

Each course is approximately three hours in length and is divided into shorter sections so that you can proceed at your own pace.

You may:

• watch the material in one sitting or over time

• return to specific sections for reference

• share selected sections with your partner

Once enrolled, you have ongoing access to the material.

Courses include supporting resources where appropriate.

Who the Courses Are For

These courses are designed for individuals or couples who are:

• exploring whether neurodiversity may be relevant to their relationship

• seeking understanding rather than quick solutions

• looking for language that reduces blame and misinterpretation

• wanting a thoughtful introduction before deciding on further work

Some material is oriented more toward the experience of the neurotypical partner, reflecting the realities of how neurodiverse relationships are often encountered. Other material addresses the autistic partner’s experience directly.

Current Courses Available

Course 1

Sorting It All Out: The Autistic and Neurotypical Worlds

This course introduces the concept of neurodiversity and explores how autistic and neurotypical partners often perceive and respond to the world differently.

It focuses on:

• differences in perception and processing

• communication mismatches

• how these differences show up in daily life and relationships

The emphasis is on understanding difference without assigning deficit or blame.

Course 2

The Neurodiverse Relationship: Challenges to Love and Intimacy

This course explores intimacy in neurodiverse relationships, including emotional and physical closeness.

Topics include:

• unspoken expectations

• the impact of difference on desire and connection

• why intimacy often becomes difficult over time

• what may be workable and what may not

The course addresses intimacy carefully and realistically, without promising resolution.

Course 3

Maybe My Partner Is Autistic

This course is an educational exploration for those who are uncertain whether autism may help explain aspects of their relationship.

It is not diagnostic.

The course examines common patterns and questions, including those reflected in the Twenty Questions for Couples, and offers a framework for thinking about neurodiversity as one possible lens for understanding relational difficulty.

Relationship Constellations

I work with straight, gay, and lesbian couples.

The language in the current courses reflects common patterns observed in relationships where the neurotypical partner is female and the autistic partner is male, largely due to historical research and language constraints. Many themes remain applicable across different constellations, though experiences also differ in important ways..

Course Previews and Enrollment

Previews of all available courses are available on my YouTube channel.

Courses are hosted on a separate platform. You can view descriptions and enroll through the course website.

A Final Note

Courses can be a useful starting point, a supplement to other work, or a standalone educational experience.

They are offered as a way to support understanding, not to direct outcomes.
