Dating while neurodivergent can feel like playing a game where everyone else got the rulebook and you’re improvising. This week, Sarah and I sit down with Brit, an autism specialist, to unpack the real challenges (and surprising strengths) of dating with ADHD, autism, and beyond. From oversharing to rejection sensitivity, overstimulation to ghosting, we get into what’s really happening under the surface—and how to date with more clarity, grace, and self-compassion.
