Communication is the number one problem that clients report when starting couples therapy. Some of the most common instances of hurtful communication involve patterns of disrespect, including using a disrespectful tone, not really listening, pretending to listen, or interrupting the other person without allowing them to finish their statements.
 
One of the goals of healthy communication is being able to have disagreements in a respectful way. Relationships impacted by neurodivergence are more likely to experience communication that feels disrespectful or abusive to one partner, but not the other.
