    PRESENTATION DESCRIPTION

    There are specific problems and issues that come up in the counseling space with neurodivergent (ND) couples. This includes many different varieties of ND couples. The diverse range in ND couples can be especially challenging and overwhelming for therapists, especially without proper knowledge of neurodiversity and how it shows up in relationships. This presentation will go over how to identify neurodiversity in a couple, the most common relationship issues that occur, and how to tackle these in practical ways.

        • Neurodivergent Love Languages
