Dr. Bronwyn Wilson is an educator, researcher and author.  In her personal life she is married to an autistic man and in a neurodiverse family.  Increasing understanding of neurodiverse relationships is her passion, and she will be one of the three guest co-hosts joining Mona for Season 5 of the Neurodiverse Love podcast.
During this episode, we talk about the fact that many people still think that autism only occurs in children.  There is still  SO much misunderstanding regarding  autistic adults.  We also talk about the stereotypes in film and  tv and how we need to do a better job of educating the world about neurodiversity and the strengths, differences and challenges of neurological differences.  
Other topics addressed Include:

The Lost Generation.
How both partners in an neurodiverse relationship often "wish" they knew earlier about their neurological differences.
The importance of accepting that you can't relive the past.
Communication differences and understanding what you each need when you're in distress.
How scripts can create challenges and misunderstandings.
Everyone has needs they want to be met and learning how both partner get their needs met.
Bron's research included survey's and conversations with 400 people throughout the world.
Her next book is focused on educating counselors, therapists, family and friends.
Cognitive differences that may be hard wired and how to understand each other's wiring
Theory of mind difference and mindblindness.

You can buy Bron's book: "Have They Gone Nuts? The Survival Guide to Social Interaction in Neurodiverse (Autistic-Neurotypical) Relationships" or contact her at: www.bronwilson.com
