Ever wondered how your neurodivergence affects your ability to form and maintain secure attachments? How might it impact not just your romantic relationships, but also those bonds within your family?

I also share a personal anecdote about why this topic is important to me, even if it’s more kink adjacent, than directly related.

Enjoy!
