Anne MacMillan, MLAAn exploration of how autistic and non-autistic nervous systems perceive and maintain boundaries differently—and how misunderstanding these differences shapes Neurodiverse Relationship Dynamics™.
Anne MacMillan, MLABoundaries are explored as a core, neurologically shaped process within Neurodiverse Relationship Dynamics™, emerging from differences in perception, feedback, and nervous system processing—and helping explain boundary misalignment in neurodiverse relationships.
