For many neurodivergent people, love isn’t performative. It’s steady. It’s quiet. It’s shown through consistency, shared space, repetition, and care that’s practical rather than dramatic. This isn’t a lesser version of affection. It’s what love looks like when it’s shaped by a different nervous system.

Love doesn’t need to look familiar to be real. It just needs to be recognized. 🌶️♥️

**Edit: For #5 “Spoon Sharing”, the “How To Love Back” column is supposed to say: “Accept help without guilt. Offer support when you can. Name the teamwork out loud.” The entry there now is a misprint. Thank you to those who noticed 🙏 **

Issues present differently when neurodivergent, a therapist well trained in neurodivergence makes a difference.

Getting an autism diagnosis helped comedian Fern Brady understand that anxiety does not always look the way people expect.

For years, she did not recognise herself in common descriptions of anxiety.

Her anxiety was often misread by others as anger or grumpiness, while privately it showed up as overwhelming and exhausting meltdowns.

Fern has also shared that alexithymia meant she did not always recognise or name what she was feeling, which made it even harder to understand what was happening in her body and mind.

Diagnosis gave her context rather than blame.

It helped her realise that her extreme emotions were not personal failures, but responses to unmet needs and overload.

By understanding herself better, Fern was able to advocate for herself at work and at home, and begin rebuilding a kinder self-image after years of being misunderstood.

Fern Brady is a Scottish comedian and bestselling author who was diagnosed as autistic in her 30s. Her work has helped many autistic people see themselves with more clarity, compassion, and honesty 💛
