Most people think intimacy means sex. But in many relationships, especially where ADHD or autism is involved, that’s not the real issue. It’s two nervous systems trying to understand each other.
In this episode, Diana is joined by Angela Griffiths, who brings decades of experience working with couples and intimate relationships. Together they explore what’s really happening beneath the surface when connection breaks down. This is an honest conversation about sex, communication, sensory needs, medication, and the often unspoken reality of neurodivergent relationships.
What we explore:
• Why intimacy is often misunderstood in neurodivergent relationships
• The role of sensory processing in sex and physical connection
• Communication differences and how they create disconnection
• Medication, libido, and emotional regulation
• Why it’s not about a “broken relationship” but different wiring
• How couples can begin to understand each other more clearly
