Part 1: ADHD + Autism in Love: Why Relationships and Intimacy Can Feel So Hard

Part 1: ADHD + Autism in Love: Why Relationships and Intimacy Can Feel So Hard If you've ever wondered why intimacy, communication, or emotional connection can feel incredibly complicated in a relationship involving ADHD, autism — or both (AuDHD) — this video is for you. I’m Nicola Knobel, your neurofabulous friend and late-diagnosed AuDHDer, and today I’m diving deep into the science, research, and lived experiences behind why relationships and intimacy often feel hard — and what to do about it. ADHD and autism both come with unique challenges when it comes to love: from sensory sensitivities and emotional dysregulation, to communication gaps and rejection sensitivity. For those of us with AuDHD, it’s like running two operating systems at once — often conflicting. Research shows that over 50% of neurodivergent couples report no sexual intimacy, and that couples affected by ADHD report nearly double the dissatisfaction rates compared to neurotypical ones. But there’s hope — and a lot of it. In this video, we explore: The double empathy problem and how it affects communication How sensory overload impacts physical closeness Why routines vs novelty cause friction Research-backed coping strategies to improve connection Real-world examples and personal stories Whether you’re in a neurodivergent relationship, dating someone with AuDHD, or exploring your own spicy brain, you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. 🧠 Subscribe for more supportive, science-backed insights into ADHD + autism love 🎥 Watch the Part 2 Interview: “Dating Someone With AuDHD — His Honest Thoughts”    • Part 2: ADHD + Autism in Love: Why Relatio...   #ADHDrelationships #neurodivergentlove ⏱️ YouTube Chapters 0:00 – Intro & What This Video Covers 1:10 – What Is AuDHD in Relationships? 2:20 – Why Love Feels So Hard With ADHD & Autism 4:45 – The Double Empathy Problem 6:00 – Sensory Overload & Intimacy 8:10 – Emotional Dysregulation & Shutdowns 10:00 – Conflict Patterns in AuDHD Couples 12:00 – Research on Neurodiverse Divorce & Sex 14:10 – Why You’re Not Broken 16:30 – Tips: Communication, Routine, Sensory Support 19:30 – Building a Love That Fits Your Brain 24:00 – Final Thoughts & Freebie Download 🔔 TURN ON NOTIFICATIONS for more videos from me! ___________________________________________________ 🎁 FREE DOWNLOAD: Need practical tools made with neurodivergent brains in mind?
