Autism Couples Therapy: Counseling for Neurodiverse Relationships
Being in a relationship where one or both partners are autistic can bring so many strengths. It can also come with challenges that feel tough to work through on your own. Whether you’re an autistic-neurotypical couple, two autistic partners, or navigating autism with ADHD or AuDHD (autistic + ADHD), you deserve therapy that truly understands you.
Autism couples therapy gives you a safe, affirming space to build stronger communication, reconnect with each other, and feel more supported.
Dynamics in Neurodiverse Couples
-
Autistic and neurotypical partnerships
It’s easy to feel misunderstood when your ways of seeing the world or your sensory needs don’t match.
-
Autistic-autistic partnerships
Sharing a neurotype can create amazing empathy and comfort. Still, things like emotional regulation or day-to-day routines can get tricky.
-
Autistic and ADHD partnerships
Differences in stimulation or structure can sometimes clash, even while your creative problem-solving thrives.
-
AuDHD couples
When one or both partners are both autistic and ADHD, you might bring incredible passion and ideas, but get overwhelmed by transitions, burnout, or executive function challenges.
How Autism Couples Therapy Can Help You Reconnect
How Autism Couples Therapy Can Support You
Neurodiverse couples often face things like:
Communication breakdowns
Sensory overload or shutdown
Conflicting routines
Executive functioning struggles
Differences in empathy or social signals
Rejection sensitivity and masking
Together, we can build skills to:
Understand each other’s needs better
Reduce frustration and hurt feelings
Communicate in ways that feel fair and kind
Create shared meaning and goals
Strengthen both emotional and physical intimacy
I work from a neuroaffirming, strengths-based approach. That means I see your neurodiversity as something to understand and support, not “fix.”
What to Expect in Autism Couples Therapy Sessions
My sessions are 50 minutes, paced in a way that feels comfortable and steady. Most couples choose to meet weekly or every other week, depending on what fits best.
I also offer intensive sessions, which can be really helpful for neurodiverse couples. Meeting for a few hours at a time lets you go deeper without feeling rushed. For many AuDHD couples, that’s easier than splitting things into lots of short appointments.
All of my sessions are virtual, so you can join from home your familiar, comfortable place. That helps reduce sensory stress, cut down on transitions, and support calm before and after therapy.
