Neurodiverse Love with Mona Kay, MSW, Ph.D.Show Notes
Romantic relationships can be complex for anyone, but for neurodivergent individuals with alexithymia, navigating emotional expression, connection, and communication presents unique challenges. During this session from the 2025 Neurodiverse Love Conference Jasmine Loo explores how alexithymia impacts romantic relationships, from difficulties in identifying and articulating emotions to misunderstandings with partners. Jasmine shares practical strategies for fostering deeper connections, improving communication, and building stronger, more fulfilling relationships while embracing neurodivergent ways of experiencing love.
