Hey guys, hey! Happy Wednesday! I’m showing up a bit late today because I'm just getting over being sick, but I promise it’s worth the wait! In this episode, we're diving into a subject that can be awkward but so important – talking about sex. Yep, grab your drink of choice (water and soda if you're driving) and let's welcome Heather Shannon, a fabulous sex therapist, to the podcast.
Heather and I explore the ins and outs of sex therapy, relationships, and how these topics intersect with autism, especially when school doesn’t cover the sex convo and it's left in the hands of YouTube and peers. Whether you’re neurotypical or neurodivergent, getting the hang of intimacy and communication can be quite the task.
Join us as we dissect the trials of initiating intimacy, understanding romance when you’re literal-minded, and improving couple communication – plus some fun bits about blindfolds, maybe even ropes! Bringing Heather on board, I hope, makes all the difference, and she’s sharing tools, books, and insights worth jotting down! Plus, there's a peek into her podcast which you’ll definitely want to check out for more insights!
And hey, whether you’re a parent, partner, or just curious, we're discussing supporting non-binary identification, the journey of self-discovery, and how to navigate those waters with love and patience. So don’t miss this wonderful chat with much laughter sprinkled in.
As always, I really appreciate your support, and I can’t wait to hear what you think. Jump into our Facebook group to keep the conversation going, and find all the episode details in the show notes. More fun stuff coming up, so stay tuned and keep adulting!
