POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNINGS: non-detailed mention of grooming; non-consensual sexual experiences; swearing

In this session, four Autistic (otherwise neurodivergent) people discuss their perspectives on the differences between neurodivergent and neurotypical relationships; cross-neurotype relationships; the pitfalls and strengths of same neurotype and cross neurotype relationships; and maybe touching on the intersectionality of LGBTQIA+ relationships in the ND community e.g. polyamory, bisexuality etc.

Guest speaker details:
Tanya Adkin is SEND Advocate. Tanya is also a late identified Autistic, ADHD (possibly PDA), single parent to two Autistic/PDA/ADHD children.

Jeanne Revest has spent many years in education as an educator. Jeanne had an unplanned interlude as a diplomat, and has been involved in social development work (including helping to set up and develop a supported accommodation service for young asylum seekers), and her next project (when Covid allows) is working on coral reef restoration and sustainable livelihoods in Madagascar. Jeanne thrives on variety, life being one long adventure, and doing things her way – if she had to have a motto, it might be "expect the unexpected", both of life and of herself!
