Neurodivergence, Sex, and Relationships

August the 8th 2026

Content: This 1-day experiential training offers you the opportunity to further develop your competence and confidence when working with neurodivergent adults. This includes looking at different presentations you may work with, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD), Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA), Dyslexia, Alexithymia, Synaesthesia, and Tourette’s Syndrome. 

By moving away from pathologising psychiatric terms such as “disorder” and taking a more developmental approach, we can explore and discuss some of the experiences of neurodivergent clients and their common presenting issues concerning sex and relationships. These include sensory processing issues in relation to sex, rejection sensitivity in dating, and alexithymia and OCD in relationships. We also investigate the intersectionality between neurodivergence and gender, asexuality, non-monogamy, and kink. Woven into the day are eight fun and reflective activities for you to try and potentially to use with neurodivergent clients. Lastly, there will be time to reflect on the appropriate adjustments you’re willing and able to make in your practice.
