How do you create a low-demand partnership while raising neurodivergent kids? This week, I sit down with Lindsay and Daryl Flanagan—fellow low-demand parents—who share their journey of shifting from traditional parenting to a more intuitive, needs-centered approach. We explore how dropping demands for each other and for our children has transformed their relationship and family life.
In this episode, we discuss:
✔️ Letting go of traditional expectations in relationships and parenting.
✔️ Navigating marriage when one or both partners are neurodivergent.
✔️ The power of humor, shorthand phrases, and texting in low-demand communication.
✔️ How to balance needs and avoid resentment in a partnership.
✔️ Understanding PDA in both kids and adults—and how it impacts relationships.
✔️ Why acknowledging capacity (not intent) is key to mutual respect.
