Love Without Scripts: How Neurodivergent Relationships Thrive Through Authenticity, Not Performance

What if everything you’ve been taught about love… wasn’t meant for you?

In this empowering Therapy Insights Tuesday episode of Love on the Autism Spectrum, therapist and neurodivergent coach Barbara (Blaze) Lazarony, LMFT, invites you to examine the cultural “scripts” of love—and consider how they may be working against your nervous system, your truth, and your real capacity for connection.

From fairy tales and romantic tropes to invisible expectations about how fast or how much you “should” feel, neurodivergent individuals often feel pressured to perform instead of be. Blaze offers a compassionate reframe: there is no one right way to love—only what’s true for you.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• How harmful love scripts show up in neurodiverse relationships
• Why you’re not broken—the rules just weren’t built for your wiring
• A grounding Home Play prompt to start reclaiming your relational truth

Whether you’re single, partnered, or redefining what love means, this episode offers a spacious invitation:

You’re allowed to write a love story that honors your pace, your body, and your way of connecting.
