Utilizing an analytical-review methodology, this article systematically examines and synthesizes contemporary interdisciplinary literature on neurodiversity, intimate relationships, autism, ADHD, and couples therapy. The analysis indicates that many relational difficulties in neurodivergent partnerships arise not from unilateral empathic deficits but from reciprocal differences in cognitive processing, communication styles, and sensory experiences. The proposed framework emphasizes four interrelated clinical domains: psychoeducation grounded in neurodiversity principles, explicit communication structuring, sensory environment modulation, and conflict reframing through the lens of the double empathy model. Integrating these perspectives shifts therapeutic focus from correcting individual “deficits” to fostering mutual understanding between differing perceptual and social systems. By promoting reciprocal empathy, relational adaptation, and acceptance of neurological differences, this integrative model offers a transformative direction for couples therapy. The article concludes by outlining implications for therapist training and future empirical research aimed at developing evidence-based protocols tailored to neurodivergent couples. 03 2026 5 15 10.55672/hpss2026pp5_15 https://hscience.org/index.php/hpss/article/view/190
