When emotions run high or routines get disrupted, it can be hard to stay connected, especially in neurodiverse relationships.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Randall and Ashley, we talk about how they handle overload, prevent meltdowns, and use simple tools like the “I’m okay” mantra and “2-or-10” scale to stay grounded and connected.

🧠 Cassandra Syndrome—the pain of being unseen, unheard, or dismissed in a relationship with a neurodivergent partner—is often oversimplified.

In this candid new conversation, Dr. David Glick and I revisit Cassandra Syndrome with a revised and balanced perspective—exploring the environmental, social, and personality factors that shape how it shows up in neurodiverse relationships.

We unpack how misunderstanding neurodivergence can lead to emotional disconnection and how reframing it through a more compassionate, informed lens can restore clarity and connection.
