The Fundamental Need to Be Loved for Who We Truly Are

In this episode of Navigating Life with Neurodiversity, I dive into one of the most universal yet deeply complex experiences for neurodivergent individuals—love and acceptance.
We explore how neurodivergence shapes our expressions of affection, challenges our sense of self-worth, and complicates our attachment patterns—especially in relationships affected by trauma. I share how my own experiences, including being manipulated and emotionally abused by someone I once saw as a “safe space,” reshaped the way I understand intimacy, trust, and healing.
This conversation touches on everything from autistic love languages and insecure attachment styles to trauma bonding, self-love, and what it really means to feel safe in a relationship. If you’ve ever felt misunderstood, emotionally lost, or unsure of what healthy love looks like through a neurodivergent lens—this episode is for you.
