In this episode, Talli and Rabbi Scott speak with Tzippora Price, an expert on neurodivergent couples, to learn more. They identify some of the behaviors associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder, as well as some challenges that may occur when one spouse is neurodivergent (and whether these problems can likely be avoided if both spouses have ASD). They also address problems unique to Orthodox Jews on the spectrum, how these issues affect a couple's sex life, and some mechanisms for overcoming these challenges. ## Actions - request_transcript: `POST https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/intimate-judaism-637036/episodes/62-love-on-the-spectrum-navigating-intimacy-with-a-neurodivergent-spouse/transcription-requests` — Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode. - read_markdown: `GET https://stenobird.com/podcast/intimate-judaism-637036/62-love-on-the-spectrum-navigating-intimacy-with-a-neurodivergent-spouse.md` — Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource.
