The Autistic Therapist, Kate McNulty, discusses her book Love and Asperger’s. We also discuss gender identity, sexuality, and the challenges faced by autistics in relationships with neurotypical partners. This hour is a frank discussion of some reasons autistics struggle to maintain romantic relationships. We also spend time exploring the trauma of families rejecting autistics who are also part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Autistics know we’re outsiders. Autistics who are non-conforming along the spectrums of gender and sexual orientation face a significantly higher risk of depression.
