Learning Better Communication Strategies for Neurodiverse Couples-Dr. Ali Arena

During this episode, Mona and Manecia have the pleasure of talking with communication expert, Dr. Ali Arena. Ali has been working for years with autistic children, parents and neurodiverse couples to help them improve their communication skills. During our conversation, Ali provides so many insightful and helpful strategies for dealing with black and white thinking, different processing styles, and emotional differences that can help neurodiverse couples understand each other better. We also explore why each neurotype may have so many challenges understanding their partners communication methods and reactions. This is definitely an episode you don't want to miss!
