E11 Sex on the Spectrum 2 (Do You Want a Coupon?)

The second half of a fantastic conversation with Suzannah Weiss! We jump back in to chatting about neurodiversity and dating, relationships and sex. There is so much good content, and some hard content so trigger warnings, y'all. How to break out of societal boundaries, do we forgive people who have violated our boundaries, and what do we do when people don't seem to respect that we can't meet the expectations society sets for us. Lots of wisdom. Lots of laughs. Lots of concerns about when we will break for lunch. It is all in this episode! Grab a slice, and give it a listen! (Seriously, you'll be hungry by the end. We all were. Even the dog.)
