Knowing When to Take a Break
Happy Autumn!🍂 I hope everyone is enjoying the autumn season so far. It’s my favorite time of year, and I sure am! I love when the weather gets cooler and crisper and all of my favorite fall foods become available (pomegranates, pumpkin spice lattes, and cranberry orange muffins!). The same way the cozy comfort of fall makes us want to slow down, I’ve found that I need a quick break to take in the changing season and the calm of October. What's Been Going On.... As many of y

Audacity Will Transform Your Neurodiverse Relationship(+10 tips)
Audacity is the boldness or willingness to take risks, speak up, or act with confidence, especially when doing something unexpected or challenging. One of the most challenging things many of us will face in life is going after the life, relationship, and dreams that matter most to us — even when achieving those dreams might seem completely against all odds or impossible at the start. A lack of audacity can cause you to miss out on a potentially successful life or relationship

Why I Wrote Love Across Spectrums: A Book for Autism Spectrum and Neurodiverse Relationships
By Amy Zo When I first met my husband in 2011, he was undiagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. In other words, neither of us knew he was on the spectrum. Because we didn't know, I never had the chance to decide whether dating someone on the spectrum was the right choice for me, and he never had the chance to decide whether dating someone who wasn't also on the spectrum was the right choice for him. We entered our relationship completely unaware that we were beginning a neur
