Based on research and responses from autistic neurodiverse couples themselves, this book gives a voice to all those that have been let down by the counselling support they received.Thoughtfully covering a wide range of topics from supporting a neurodiverse couple in therapy, recognising autism in the counselling room, the effects of autism on a relationship and how to make adaptations in a counselling session to Intimacy, sex, and sensory sensitivity and how to initiate and end sessions gives you the practical know-how to add to your therapeutic tool-kit that will be invaluable in supporting neurodiverse clients.
