Welcome to episode 98. Today, I’m diving into one of my favourite topics – sex and relationships – but this time through the lens of my experience as an autistic woman. I’ll be exploring how people with different neurotypes can better understand each other’s needs through clear, honest communication, and we’ll look at how expressing and listening to desires without shame or judgment can lead to more fulfilling sexual experiences. At its core, this episode is about connecting in a way that feels authentic to you and building relationships that bring joy and satisfaction. Let’s dive in!

In this episode:

• How confidently addressing neurodivergence and embracing open conversations about your challenges and desires will always lead to better sex.
• How do you know when someone fancies you? The challenge of understanding social cues and flirting as an autistic person.
• Written communication is a powerful way to express your sexual desires and needs – often used in long-distance relationships but helpful for everyone, especially those with different neurotypes.
