Naomi is a clinical sexologist and Lauren is a digital marketer. We are a queer couple who recently discovered that Lauren is autistic. This is our journey as we learn and navigate being a neurodiverse couple. These videos came about after Naomi shared this insight on her instagram page (@AustralianSexologist) and followers inundated her with questions about our journey as a neurodiverse and neurotypical couple. Part 1 talks about our initial discovery and answers questions about women with autism, diagnosis, impacts on our relationship, communication and more. Caveat, we are not autism experts, we are experts in our own life and journey.
We would like to acknowledge that this video was filmed in Meeanjin (Brisbane) on the lands of the Jagera and Turrbal people, they are the true custodians of this land we live on. We respect their cultural, spiritual and economic connection to the land and waterways. We pay our respects to the elders past, present and emerging.
