In Part 2, Jeremy Rochford and Robin Tate move from understanding executive function to living with it—what changes after the “aha” moment fades and real life still demands consistency. They explore the emotional whiplash many late-diagnosed autistics experience once they finally have language for their wiring, but still find themselves missing deadlines, stalling on simple tasks, or shutting down under pressure. Rather than framing this as failure, they unpack why executive function challenges are context-dependent—shaped by stress, energy, sensory load, and relational safety—and why progress rarely looks linear. The focus shifts from “Why can’t I just do the thing?” to “What conditions help me do the thing more often?” The conversation gets practical and relational. Jeremy and Robin outline how to build supportive systems that work with neurodivergent wiring instead of against it—external scaffolding, realistic pacing, clear agreements with partners, and repair when systems break down. They also address the relational impact: how mismatched expectations, unspoken resentment, and chronic over-functioning can creep into neurodiverse relationships when executive function struggles are misunderstood. Part 2 offers a grounded playbook for turning insight into action—helping late-diagnosed autistics (and their partners) move from self-judgment to skill-building, shared language, and rhythms that actually hold up under real life.To listen to Part 1, please click here.To learn more about Robin Tate, please check out https://www.robintatellc.com/To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com   Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In this episode, Jeremy Rochford sits down with Robin Tate for a candid, insider conversation about executive function—what it actually is, what it isn’t, and why so many later-in-life diagnosed autistics feel blindsided by it. Drawing from their own lived experience on the spectrum, they cut through the vague labels and clinical fog to explain executive function in plain language: the invisible skills that help you start, stop, plan, shift gears, regulate emotions, and follow through. They name the common traps—confusing executive function challenges with laziness, lack of care, or character flaws—and show how that misunderstanding quietly fuels shame, burnout, and relational friction for adults who spent years trying to “power through” without the right framework.The conversation moves beyond insight into practical clarity. Jeremy and Robin unpack how executive function challenges often show up differently after diagnosis—when you finally have language for your wiring, but real life still expects performance on demand. They explore why awareness alone doesn’t fix the bottlenecks, how sensory load, stress, and emotional flooding can hijack follow-through, and what supportive systems actually look like for neurodivergent adults trying to build sustainable rhythms. The result is a grounded, validating roadmap for late-diagnosed autistics—and the people who love them—to replace self-blame with tools, compassion, and strategies that make everyday life feel more doable.To learn more about Robin Tate, please check out https://www.robintatellc.com/To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com   Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

Is it “just a hobby,” or is it something deeper? In neurodiverse relationships, this question often shows up in the middle of real conflict—not curiosity. One partner sees time spent or distraction; the other experiences regulation, focus, and emotional recovery. In this episode, Jeremy breaks down the t difference between hobbies and special interests, explaining why the distinction has less to do with what the activity is and everything to do with what it does for the nervous system. This isn’t about labels or intensity—it’s about function, regulation, and identity.You’ll learn when a hobby crosses over into a special interest, why removing or limiting a special interest can unintentionally increase emotional dysregulation, and how couples can stop arguing about “fairness” and start planning for stability instead. With practical guidance for mixed-neurotype couples, this conversation offers a new lens for negotiating time, boundaries, and connection—without pathologizing either partner. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the same argument about interests, focus, or disengagement, this episode gives you language that actually moves the conversation forward.To listen to the episode on Safety, check out "https://www.ourneurofam.com/neuro-fm-podcast" and click on the "Why Can't Autistics Follow Through?" episode. To learn more about their coaching practice NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.You can check out their awesome stuff here - https://www.eleventysevenisalive.com/ Music for the show’s outro is provided (with permission) by Sean Rogers & Shineunder.

In this episode of My Autistic Diary, Jeremy Rochford challenges the idea that emotional intelligence in autistic families is something you either “have” or “don’t.” Instead, he shows how emotional intelligence is built through understanding, regulation, and understanding what the situation needs—not pressure to change who you are. Drawing from real moments in parenting and marriage, Jeremy exposes why so many outdated parenting models miss the mark in neurodiverse homes and what actually helps when emotions run high and expectations collide. From there, Jeremy pivots to discuss how most relationships don’t collapse in a single dramatic moment—rather, they slowly wear down through small, repeated ruptures: misunderstood tone, unmet expectations, unresolved tension, and the quiet accumulation of feeling unseen. This is where micro-healing becomes transformative. Instead of waiting for major breakthroughs or crisis-level conversations, micro-healing focuses on repairing small moments as they happen—naming a misunderstanding, softening a reaction, clarifying intent, or pausing to reset before distance takes root. Over time, these tiny acts of repair interrupt the “death by a thousand papercuts” and replace it with something steadier and safer. Micro-healing doesn’t just prevent damage; it gradually rebuilds trust, restores agency, and creates a rhythm of connection that makes real, sustainable closeness possible.To learn more about our coaching practice, NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In this episode, Jeremy Rochford is joined by Dr. Stephanie Holmes and Jenilee Goodwin for a grounded, clarifying conversation about why solo work and couples work are not interchangeable—especially in neurodiverse relationships. Rather than defaulting to “just do couples therapy,” they unpack why many mixed-neurotype couples stall or escalate when relational work starts in the wrong place. The discussion highlights how individual regulation, self-understanding, and skill-building often need to come before joint sessions can be productive. For neurodivergent partners in particular, solo coaching can create the clarity, language, and emotional capacity required to show up well in couples work instead of feeling flooded, defensive, or misunderstood. They also explore why neurodiverse coaching must be handled differently than traditional therapy models. Jeremy, Stephanie, and Jenilee explain how insight-based or emotionally interpretive approaches can miss the mark when executive functioning, sensory load, communication differences, and processing speed aren’t accounted for. Coaching, when done well, provides structure, explicit tools, and predictable frameworks that reduce ambiguity rather than increase it. This episode helps listeners understand when to focus on individual coaching, when to shift into couples work, and why matching the right type of support to a neurodiverse nervous system isn’t a shortcut—it’s the difference between repeating old cycles and finally making forward progress together.For more on Dr. Stephanie Holmes, check out: https://www.christianneurodiversemarriage.com/For more on Jenilee Goodwin, check out: https://jenileerachel.com/To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.neurofam.com/   Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In Part Two of the 2026 kickoff series, Jeremy Rochford picks up where we left off and opens the rest of the toolkit couples have been waiting for. If Part One gave you language, Part Two gives you momentum. Jeremy delivers frameworks 4 and 5— that help couples operationalize what they’ve learned so far. With unfiltered honesty and a coach’s eye for patterns, Jeremy digs into the forces that quietly sabotage intimacy: assumption loops, nervous-system misfires, mismatched feedback styles, and the exhaustion that comes from never feeling fully understood. Then he does what Jeremy always does—he replaces the chaos with something usable: a rhythm, a script, and permission to repair without performing. In this episode, you’ll learn how to give feedback without triggering shutdown, receive truth without spiraling into threat, and build connection through structure instead of losing it to emotional static. This isn’t just inspiration—it’s implementation. And implementation is what changes relationships. Jeremy reminds listeners that frameworks only work when couples use them together—so he shows you exactly how. You’ll hear how to identify the difference between conflict that’s dumping on you versus emotions that are spilling out, and what to do in the moment when either one happens. These tools help couples pause self-defense, interrupt emotional flooding, regulate before responding, and co-author expectations without erasing identity. Jeremy challenges both partners to stop treating feedback like a personal attack and start treating it like data—with emotion allowed, but collaboration required. Because 2026 isn’t the year you finally get it perfect. It’s the year you finally get it working. This is Part 2 of a two-part masterclass. It builds on everything from Part One, but stands alone as the moment couples shift from learning the tools… to living them. If you want 2026 to be the year your relationship moves from surviving to synchronized, this episode is your next step forward. Because the right systems don’t just change your words—they change your life.To learn more about our small groups or to check out NeuroFam, please visit https://www.ourneurofam.com/  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In Part One of this 2026 kickoff series, Jeremy Rochford cuts through the noise and hands couples real tools they can actually use. Neurodiverse relationships don’t need more theory—they need language, rhythm, and a plan. That’s exactly what Jeremy delivers as he unveils the 5 most powerful relationship frameworks for the year ahead. Drawing from lived experience, coaching insights, and a communicator’s instinct for clarity, Jeremy breaks down the invisible forces that derail connection and replaces them with practical strategies that restore it. In this episode, you’ll learn the first half of the toolkit that helps couples shift from emotional overload to collaborative repair, communicate without self-defense, and finally understand the difference between being dumped on and dumped out in conflict. This isn’t just content—it’s a relationship lifeline for 2026.Jeremy walks listeners through the first 3 frameworks designed to lower friction and increase understanding in mixed-neurotype marriages. These tools help couples identify emotional tripwires, respond with regulation instead of reaction, and build shared expectations without losing their sense of self. With honesty, warmth, and just the right amount of challenge, Jeremy invites both partners into a new operating system for their relationship—one where feedback builds trust instead of threat, connection beats confusion, and 2026 becomes the year they finally make it work with confidence.This is Part One of a two-part masterclass, but it stands alone as a powerful catalyst for change.

In Part Two of this episode, we pick up exactly where we left off—unpacking lessons six through ten.These lessons speak directly to the Neurodiverse marriage experience, where it's not all about “fixing” the relationship or proving you’ve changed—but rather, it’s about becoming safer, steadier, and more relational over time. If Part One helped you start to understand what it takes to repair and restore a marriage, Part Two helps you understand how to make those new habits stick. To learn more about NeuroFam, or to get in touch, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In Part One of this two-part series, Jeremy steps back from theory and frameworks to share something more personal: five hard-earned lessons in the five years since he and his wife went through their separation. This episode isn’t about assigning blame or offering quick fixes—it’s about telling the truth of what separation, or the threat of, teaches when you’re willing to learn from it. Jeremy reflects on the internal shifts that only happen when a relationship breaks down, questions about identity, responsibility, emotional regulation, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive pain, and how it all factored back into restoring his marriage to be better than it was before. Rather than rushing toward closure, this episode invites listeners to slow down and listen for more nuanced lessons and what separation reveals about patterns, blind spots, and growth that can’t be forced. Whether you’re walking through separation yourself, processing a past one, or simply wrestling with the cost of relational loss, Part One offers ideas for experiences & repair that are often desired but rarely named. The remaining five lessons—and how they intertwine with the first 5—will unfold in Part Two.To learn more about NeuroFam, or to get in touch, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In this episode, Jeremy Rochford sits down with therapist-turned-coach Barbara Grant for a candid, grounded conversation about a question many couples and individuals silently wrestle with: What’s the real difference between counseling and coaching—and how do I know which one I need? Barbara breaks down the distinction with refreshing simplicity. Counseling, she explains, is about healing what’s been wounded, untangling old stories, and creating emotional stability. Coaching, on the other hand, is forward-focused—designed to help you build skills, apply tools, and create momentum toward who you’re becoming. Together, they peel back the misconceptions, including why coaching isn’t “therapy lite” and why counseling isn’t just for crisis.From there, Jeremy and Barbara explore how to get the absolute best out of coaching—especially if you’re wired neurodivergently or navigating a mixed-neurotype marriage. They talk about the importance of setting realistic goals, naming the problem you want solved, and showing up with both honesty and curiosity. Barbara shares practical tips for maximizing sessions, from embracing accountability to resisting the urge to people-please your coach. Jeremy adds his own lived experience from both sides of the table, reminding listeners that coaching works best when you’re willing to experiment, self-reflect, and take small, brave steps between sessions. Whether you’re on the edge of starting coaching or simply trying to understand the landscape, this conversation gives you a roadmap that feels both doable and empowering.To learn more about Barbara Grant, you can find her at https://bg-hc.com/To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com   Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In this episode of NeuroFM, Jeremy Rochford gets personal about something people don’t always expect to hear: why he’s thankful for his autism diagnosis. Not because it made life easier or tied everything up with a bow, but because it finally gave shape and language to patterns he’d carried his whole life. Jeremy breaks down the five reasons he’s genuinely grateful — from the relief of finally understanding his wiring, to the emotional clarity it brought to his marriage, to the unexpected confidence that comes from calling something what it is instead of fighting what it’s not.Jeremy also shares how the diagnosis reshaped his fatherhood, transformed the way he makes decisions, and gave him a sense of purpose he never saw coming. Through humor, honesty, and a few hard-won insights, he invites listeners to see diagnosis not as an ending, but as a beginning — a moment of truth that clears the fog and opens the door to a more honest, more aligned, more compassionate life. This episode is raw, real, and filled with the kind of hopeful gratitude that only comes from understanding yourself at a deeper level.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

When the woman you love looks at you and says, “I think you might be autistic,” it can hit like a surprise plot twist you didn’t see coming. For some men, it feels like clarity. For others, it feels like criticism. And for most? It’s confusing, disorienting, and more emotional than they expected. In this episode, Jeremy breaks down what actually happens inside a marriage when one partner starts connecting the dots and the other isn’t sure they want to. With honesty, humor, and the kind of practical wisdom only lived experience can teach, he walks husbands through the very normal reactions—denial, defensiveness, curiosity, relief—and explains why this moment doesn’t have to be a crisis… it can be the beginning of understanding yourself in a brand-new way.But more importantly, Jeremy shows how this conversation can become a turning point for the relationship, not just the individual. He unpacks why your wife brought it up, what she’s actually hoping for, and how to respond in ways that build connection instead of conflict. This isn’t about labeling yourself or proving anything. It’s about learning to see what your partner sees, honoring your own pace, and deciding what to do with the information sitting on the table. Whether you’re skeptical, seeking answers, or somewhere in between, this episode offers a compassionate roadmap for husbands who want to understand themselves—and love their wives—better than ever.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/   Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

When you first hear the words “You’re autistic,” it can feel like the ground shifts beneath your feet. For some, it’s relief—finally, a name for years of confusion. For others, it’s resistance—does this label now define who I am? In this episode, Jeremy unpacks the tension between identity and diagnosis through the lens of what he calls The Autistic Identity Ladder—a four-part journey from denial to confident acceptance. He shares candid stories of his own process, the humor and heartbreak of self-realization, and why true understanding isn’t found in a label, but in how we choose to live with it.In this episode, Jeremy takes listeners on an honest walk through what it means to navigate identity after a diagnosis—especially when the label feels both clarifying and confining. He explores how we move from discomfort to confidence, from “I don’t want this to be me” to “I can live well with who I am.” Through grounded wisdom and gentle humor, Jeremy reminds us that autism may help explain your wiring, but it doesn’t write your worth.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/   To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com   Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

Sometimes the hardest battles are the ones we fight inside our own minds. In this deeply honest episode, Jeremy opens up about a recent moment when a big life decision could have easily spiraled into conflict. What started as a simple disagreement began to trigger old patterns—rejection sensitivity, impulsivity, blame shifting, and worst-case-scenario thinking. But instead of reacting from fear, Jeremy chose to pause, regulate, reframe, and use the tool's offered in prior Podcast episodes. What followed wasn’t just a better outcome—it was a breakthrough in emotional maturity, empathy, and connection. With equal parts humor and vulnerability, Jeremy walks listeners through the exact tools he used to interrupt the mental chaos and find calm in the middle of uncertainty. He shares what it looks like, step-by-step, to move from defensiveness to self-awareness, from shame to ownership, and from catastrophic thinking to collaborative problem-solving. This isn’t a story about perfection—it’s a masterclass in progress. If you’ve ever replayed a conversation in your head or felt hijacked by your own emotions, this episode is a gentle reminder: growth isn’t about never being triggered—it’s about learning how to stay present when you are.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In this heartfelt conversation, Jeremy Rochford opens up about his personal experience with Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) — that intense emotional pain that can come from even the smallest hint of criticism or disapproval. With honesty and humor, Jeremy breaks down what RSD really is (and what it isn’t), exploring why it hits so hard for many neurodivergent adults and how it often hides beneath anger, shutdowns, or avoidance.But this episode doesn’t stop at awareness — it’s about healing and growth. Jeremy offers practical strategies to recognize emotional triggers, create safe relational spaces, and retrain your nervous system for resilience. He shares the tools that helped him move from reactivity to regulation, and from fear of rejection to deeper connection. Whether you’re living with RSD or loving someone who is, this conversation is both validating and full of hope — reminding you that sensitivity isn’t weakness; it’s an invitation to understand yourself more fully.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In this episode, I share my personal journey of learning to manage anxiety and impulsivity—not through lofty theories, but through practical tools that actually work. From simple breathing practices to building routines that ground me, I’ve discovered that the right strategies don’t erase the struggles, but they give me enough space to choose my responses rather than being ruled by them. We also explore how these same tools apply when it comes to politics.Just like in our personal lives, the political world is full of impulsive reactions and anxiety-driven decisions. By looking at how tools for self-regulation can help us engage with politics in healthier ways, this conversation highlights why intentional practices aren’t just personal—they’re powerful enough to change how we show up in the world around us.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  To learn more about The All Abilities, No Filter Podcast, please check out https://www.allabilitiesnofilter.com/To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In this episode of NeuroFM, Jeremy breaks down the concept of Enemy Mode—which is when the brain is treating individuals as enemies to overcome, rather than people to love.  This leads connections to shut down, and for every interaction to start feeling like a battle. He explores how enemy mode shows up differently in neurodiverse relationships, especially when partners think, feel, or process the world in different ways. Jeremy shares real-life examples that reveal how easily couples can slip into this defensive posture and why it leaves both partners feeling misunderstood, isolated, and stuck in cycles of conflict. But this isn’t just theory—it’s a roadmap toward hope. Jeremy outlines practical ways to recognize when enemy mode is active and steps couples can take to move back toward empathy, curiosity, and connection. Whether you’re autistic, ADHD, neurotypical, or somewhere in between, this conversation invites you to see enemy mode not as a flaw, but as a signal—one that, if noticed and addressed, can actually strengthen your relationship. It’s a must-listen for anyone who wants to replace disconnection with deeper trust and love.To lean more about Escaping Enemy Mode, please check out https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/escaping-enemy-mode-podcast/id1651300799To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

In this episode of NeuroFM, Jeremy sits down with his son Johnathan for an honest, funny, and surprisingly deep conversation about the power of accommodations. Through the lens of Johnathan’s experiences in both hockey and theater, they unpack what it means to be supported in ways that don’t erase differences but actually empower strengths. From the ice rink to the stage, Johnathan shares how thoughtful adjustments—whether it’s a coach breaking down a drill in smaller steps or a director allowing extra time to rehearse—don’t just make participation possible, they make growth and confidence flourish. Together, Jeremy and Johnathan show how accommodations aren’t about “special treatment,” but about leveling the playing field so every kid can thrive. Their back-and-forth is filled with insight, humor, and heartfelt stories that highlight how small, intentional changes can transform challenges into opportunities. Whether you’re a parent, educator, coach, or simply curious about what true inclusion looks like, this episode offers a hopeful and practical reminder: when we make room for differences, we create space for everyone’s potential to shine.To learn more about this episode’s sponsor, the All Abilities No Filter podcast, please check out https://www.allabilitiesnofilter.com/To learn more about ASAH Special Hockey, please check out https://www.specialhockey.org/To learn more about the Penguin Project, please check out https://paautism.org/social_group/penguin-project-mon-river-arts/To learn more about us at NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/  To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com  Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.
