When one or both couples are on the Autism Spectrum or label themselves as Aspergers, it can be incredibly helpful to be understanding of particular things that will be helpful for working with these specific couples. In this episode, Grace Myhill talks about particular topics that neurodiverse couples often seek help with.

Here is a paragraph from her website: A couple is neurodiverse when one partner is neurotypical \\u2014 processes information the way most people do \\u2014 and the other partner has a different neurological process, as is the case when someone has Asperger\\u2019s. This difference between the partners can affect their relationship and that is why it is\\xa0important to understand that neurology matters when working on the couple\\u2019s issues.

The Couples Therapist Couch is the podcast for Couples Therapists about the practice of couples therapy. The host, Shane Birkel, interviews an expert in the field of couples therapy each week.

Grace Myhill is the\\xa0Director of Couple\'s and\\xa0Partner\\u2019s Services, Asperger / Autism Network (AANE). She facilitates many\\xa0Groups and Workshops for couples as well as therapists.
