I've been working on creating a set of autism / AuDHD / neurodiversity-affirming cards. Each card offers gentle, encouraging affirmations around things like self-acceptance, emotional regulation, executive functioning, social skills, sensory sensitivities, school, work, and relationships.

They’re little reminders to help you feel seen, supported, and grounded exactly as you are.

Here’s today’s card. 💛

Are autistic and non-autistic partners compatible?

It depends on the people, not the labels. When couples understand each other’s strengths, challenges, and values, they can build a strong, connected relationship just like any couple. 💙

Real change in a neurodiverse relationship doesn’t happen in one big breakthrough; it unfolds slowly, through consistency, compassion, and small steps over time.

While intensives can bring clarity and momentum, what truly matters is what happens afterward, the space to process, practice, and grow together.
