This is such an important podcast. Everything you said is exactly how these relationships play out.Ten years ago we found out he was on the spectrum. I am finally staying well but it has been a lot of work. I agree the church has done a disservice in making women feel they have to sacrifice all and keep trying...to make things work. What is working for me is setting very firm boundaries and refusing to tolerate certain behaviors. Your materials have helped me so much in getting to a better place in my marriage. Thank you for this episode.
I need this podcast SO MUCH!! My husband is on the spectrum and we've been in counseling for just over a year, but he just doesn't seem to *get it*. I've been watching/listening to many of your podcasts & teachings and am finally starting to work on myself. I still have a ways to go but feel I'm on the right path. It's so important to address the Christian neurodiverse marriage because it has such a different nuance than neurotypical marriages.
Thank you so much for this episode! God lead me to it at just the right time. I was really questioning what to do next in my ND marriage. It was thru a previous interview between Leslie and Dr. Holmes that I realize that my husband is on the autism spectrum and he agreed after watching that first interview. I feel so seen and validated thru this new conversation between Leslie and Dr. Holmes. They touched on so much of how our marriage has been. I asked my husband to watch it so we could discuss the points they covered so that maybe he'll understand a bit more of the issues between us. Thank you, again.
I am thrilled this episode is helping you and your husband. You might consider getting a professional diagnosis to have access to more resources and help. God bless you both.
I think you are at a great first step... noticing and asking the question. Be patient with yourself as you explore the answer. And, feel free to look at my blog to see if there is anything helpful to you there. www.leslievernick.com/blog God bless you.

You need to talk about autistic women in marriages who are with narcissist men who they don't get their needs met.
Tom Pryde of Psalm 82 Iniative would be a great interview
We are both adhd. It’s difficult
Every time I have a conversation with my spouse, I feel greatly guilty. Why?

What do you mean by entrenched and not want to be a part of it? The latter I get but not the former. What are they entrenched in?
Can we address alexthmia?
