_______________________________________________________
During this episode, Greg Fuqua and Mona Kay talk about some of the strengths, challenges and differences that may be present when one partner is Autistic and the other is ADHD. Greg has this dynamic in his marriage and Mona had this dynamic in her 30 year marriage, so they both share a lot of their personal experiences, as well as those they have seen in other couples with these mixed neurotypes.

The topics addressed include:

Externalized energy vs internalized energy.
One partner may be a "bridge" for the other.
Differences and overlaps and shared understanding.
Anxious pursuer vs avoidant.
Timing is the key to find moments to connect.
In-depth knowledge vs chasing a new thing.
External calm and patience vs lots of outer energy and a desire for change.
Having different processing preferences.
Ability to jump around vs going deep with one subject.
The need for autonomy and freedom or feeling like you have to repress your needs.
Understanding emotional dysregulation and self-soothing.
Being hyperverbal vs hypoverbal.
How knowing each other's neurotypes can help explain why you both may be having challenges.
Tracking each others mood and stress and attuning to each other, rather then judging and creating conflict.
Valuing each others different processing styles.
Understanding unidentified sensitivities.
Being vulnerable vs intellectualizing emotions and growing in emotional vulnerability.
Focusing on your strengths and connection as a couple can help you rebuild and transform your relationship.
