Maximizing Pleasure: Sex and Neurodivergence

Learn how sex is impacted by different forms of neurodivergence

People with ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence often struggle to get what they need out of sexual relationships and situations. In this workshop, we will discuss how neurodiversity can affect sexuality and give strategies for how to help navigate sensory, communication, and relational differences so you can have the best sex possible.

Learning Objectives:

1. After completing this training, participants will be able to identify at least 2 ways to accommodate sensory sensitivities in sex.
2. Participants in this training will be able to identify at least 2 strategies for communicating with partners around sexual needs related to neurodivergence.
