Class Description
This class explores the many ways neurodiversity intersects with kink—and why so many “mysterious” behaviors suddenly make perfect sense once you realize your brain is simply wired a little differently. We’ll break down common neurodivergent experiences such as hyperfocus, limerence, rejection sensitivity, Persistant Drive for Autonomy (PDA), the empathy gap, sensory-processing differences, fluctuating capacity, and more, all through a kink-aware, shame-free lens.
Together, we’ll look at how these traits can shape play styles, relationship dynamics, communication needs, and emotional patterns within the scene. You’ll learn how to identify these patterns in yourself and partners, how to navigate them with compassion and clarity, and how to build kink dynamics that support—not overwhelm—your spicy little neurotype. Perfect for neurodivergent kinksters, partners, caregivers, and anyone who wants to understand the brain-based reasons behind their behaviors, desires, and challenges in the community.
