Do you feel like no matter how hard you try, you’re always letting others down? Do you feel continually frustrated because you can’t count on your partner to follow through?
Many neurodivergent individuals and mixed neurotype couples struggle with executive function differences, including how we plan, prioritize, and manage the never-ending to-do list, are common obstacles. These difficulties can create stress in all kinds of relationships, leading to miscommunication and conflict, challenges with initiation and completion, and friction around different ways of doing things.
We reframe these challenges as predictable patterns rather than personal shortcomings, offering practical strategies to work with neurological differences instead of against them. This workshop will provide effective tools, actionable strategies, and hands-on practices to reduce unnecessary executive function labor and struggles so you can preserve capacity for what matters most. This offering is designed for autistic and ADHD adults, single or partnered, and their loved ones.
This workshop is part of a three-part series. We also invite you to join Neurodiverse Love & Emotional Intimacy and Neurodiverse Pleasure & Sexual Intimacy.
In this experiential workshop, you will:
A clear overview of executive function and how it shapes daily life, dating, and relationship dynamics
Ways executive function challenges contribute to conflict, resentment, and communication breakdowns
Practical low-burden strategies to manage tasks, reduce dysregulation, and strengthen collaboration
Skills for making requests, negotiating needs, and setting boundaries in ways that maintain trust and intimacy
Approaches for expressing impact with empathy and clarity without criticism, shame, or blame
This workshop is part of a three-part series and while each workshop stands on its own, they are designed to work together. Experiencing all three offerings will help you integrate the material more deeply and gain the full benefit of the series.

Learn how core neurodivergent experiences, including alexithymia, decision fatigue, sensory overload, and masking, impact intimacy and trust. Explore how to feel emotions without overanalyzing and support nervous system regulation. Practice engaging in challenging conversations without avoidance or overwhelm. Discover strategies to interrupt reactive patterns such as catastrophizing, shame spirals, and rejection sensitivity.
Many neurodivergent people struggle with attention, arousal, and sensory regulation during dating and sex, which can make moments meant to feel pleasurable feel stressful instead. Discover how to explore and share sensory needs, manage distraction, regulate arousal, and create novelty while maintaining intimacy. You’ll get a personalized intimacy user manual and practical tools that will help you feel embodied and empowered.
