Restoring the Soul with Michael John Cusick
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
"If you've met one person on the autism spectrum, you've met one person." — Michael John Cusick
In today's episode, Michael is joined by his wife of 32 years, Julianne Cusick. Together, they delve into the fascinating topic of neurodiverse marriages.
Neurodiversity encompasses a range of neuro differences, from autism to nonverbal learning disorder and everything in between. However, the diagnosis and understanding of neurodiversity can be challenging due to the lack of specific criteria. Commonly diagnosed conditions related to neurodiversity include mood disorders, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, and sensory integration disorder, among others.
On the podcast, you'll hear how Michael and Julianne shed light on the experiences of neurodiverse individuals and their partners, exploring their unique challenges and dynamics in their relationships. Through their personal stories and professional expertise, Michael and Julianne provide valuable insights into the importance of communication, understanding each other's needs, and creating a shared language to bridge the gap between neurotypical and neurodiverse perspectives. They also delve into the impact of neurodiverse marriages on the neurotypical partner, offering guidance and support for those feeling emotionally neglected or frustrated.
