The Silent Saboteurs in Neurodiverse Relationships
4w ago00:26:02Tap to summarizeOn this episode of NeuroFM, we’re naming the things that are quietly working against your relationship—the ones that don’t show up as obvious conflict, but still create distance over time. The silent saboteurs. The unspoken expectations. The missed meanings. The “I thought you knew” moments that slowly turn into frustration, withdrawal, or that familiar Groundhog Day loop. In neurodiverse relationships, it’s not just about what’s being said—it’s about how it’s being interpreted, filtered, and sometimes completely missed.Jeremy breaks down the hidden dynamics that keep couples stuck—like assumption gaps, sensory overload, and internal narratives that never make it out loud—and why they matter more than most communication strategies. More importantly, he offers a practical path forward: how to start recognizing these patterns in real time and shift from reacting to understanding. Because once you can see what’s been invisible, you can finally start changing the story.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/ Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

Transcribe →When Special Interests Collide w/ Johnathan Rochford
Apr 900:28:10Tap to summarizeIn this episode of NeuroFM, Jeremy and Johnathan take listeners behind the scenes of their unforgettable trip to Lake Placid—part father-son hockey adventure, part meaningful journey through one of sports’ most iconic moments. What started as a tournament weekend quickly became something deeper: shared laughs on the road, stories between games, and the kind of moments that remind you why experiences matter more than outcomes. Jeremy reflects on the joy of watching Johnathan compete, the bond that forms through travel and challenge, and the simple but powerful gift of being fully present together.But the trip wasn’t just about hockey—it was also about stepping into history. Jeremy and Johnathan visited the site of the legendary “Miracle on Ice,” where the 1980 U.S. Olympic team stunned the world and inspired a generation. Standing in that arena gave them a fresh appreciation for grit, belief, and what can happen when ordinary people rise to extraordinary moments. In this heartfelt conversation, they unpack what the trip taught them about perseverance, legacy, and why some memories stay with you long after the final buzzer.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

Transcribe →My Autistic Diary; Expectations, Regulation & Impulse Control
Mar 2700:24:53Tap to summarizeIn this episode of My Autistic Diary, Jeremy walks you step-by-step through how he personally navigates three of the biggest friction points in an Autistic's everyday life: expectations, regulation, and impulse control. Rather than talking in theory, he opens up his real-time process—how he slows down, identifies what’s actually being expected (by himself and others), and uses practical tools to bring clarity before pressure builds. He breaks expectations down into something usable, showing how he filters, prioritizes, and communicates them in a way that works with his brain instead of against it. From there, Jeremy separates regulation and impulse control into their own distinct challenges—and shows you exactly how he approaches each one with intention. He walks through the specific tools he uses to regulate his nervous system in the moment, then how he layers in impulse control strategies after regulation is established—never before. This episode is less about concepts and more about application: real tools, real scenarios, and a clear demonstration of how to navigate each situation individually. If you’ve ever wondered what it actually looks like to “do the work” in real time, this episode gives you a practical, honest roadmap you can begin using immediately.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/ Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

Transcribe →Creating A NeuroDiverse Relationship That Works for Us w/ Ginny & Tommy Smith
Mar 2000:47:37Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Jeremy sits down with Ginny and Tommy Smith for a candid, unfiltered conversation about the moment a marriage stops matching the dream—and what comes after. Ginny puts words to what so many wives feel but struggle to articulate: the challenge of realizing why your husband struggles to step into the roles you expected—leader, initiator, emotional connector. For years, she carried the weight of confusion, loneliness, and relentless effort to “fix” the marriage, only to discover that the issue wasn’t effort—it was understanding. Jeremy helps frame their story through the lens of neurodiversity, drawing out how Tommy’s late diagnosis reframed some of his challenges, not as intentional failure, but as a missing framework. Together, they explore the emotional tension between grieving what was hoped for and choosing to stay in the “hard” with purpose and faith. But this isn’t a story about settling—it’s a story about rebuilding. The conversation moves into what it actually looks like to “find your rhythm” as a neurodiverse couple: redefining fairness, creating practical systems for communication and follow-through, and learning how to support each other without resentment or excuses. Ginny shares how she’s learned to understand without losing herself, while Tommy speaks to the challenging reality of unmasking and relearning life later in adulthood. Though hard, it's finally brought them to a place of understanding that healthy neurodiverse marriages aren’t about keeping score, but intentional rhythms that evolve. Some days sound like harmony, others like chaos—but with consistency, humility, and the right tools, couples can move from constant friction to a rhythm that, while imperfect, is deeply their own.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/ To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com To learn more about Kevin & Shawna Meek please check out https://www.livingstonescoaching.com/Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

Transcribe →The Secret to Better Regulation
Mar 1600:22:46Tap to summarizeMost people think better regulation comes from trying harder, staying calmer, or just “getting it together.” But the truth is, regulation usually doesn’t begin with willpower — it begins with awareness in the conflict(s). In this episode, we unpack the real secret to better regulation: learning to notice what’s happening in your body, your mind, and your environment before things spiral. Because for so many neurodivergent individuals, couples, and families, the issue isn’t a lack of effort — it’s a lack of understanding about what’s actually driving the dysregulation in the first place. If you’ve ever found yourself shutting down, snapping, going numb, or feeling overwhelmed and not fully knowing why, this conversation is for you. Jeremy breaks down what regulation really is, what gets in the way of it, and how small, practical shifts can create more peace, clarity, and connection in everyday life. This episode is a reminder that better regulation isn’t about becoming a different person — it’s about learning how to work with your nervous system instead of constantly fighting against it.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/ To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

Transcribe →A Guys Perspective On Betrayal Trauma
Mar 900:25:09Tap to summarizeFrom a lot of men’s perspectives, betrayal trauma can be confusing. Many guys think the issue is simply the mistake itself—something that happened in the past that they apologized for and are trying to move beyond. But for many women, betrayal trauma isn’t just about the event; it’s about the collapse of safety, trust, and emotional reality. In this episode, we explore what betrayal trauma can feel like from a woman’s perspective—how the nervous system responds, why questions keep resurfacing, and why healing often takes longer than the person who caused the harm expects. Rather than dismissing these reactions as “overreacting,” we unpack why they are often the mind and body trying to make sense of a shattered sense of safety.In this episode, Jeremy breaks down what betrayal trauma actually is—and just as importantly, what it isn’t. Speaking directly to men who want to repair their marriages, he explains why many of the instincts guys have after betrayal (move on quickly, defend intentions, minimize the impact, or try to “fix” the problem fast) often make the wound deeper instead of helping it heal. Jeremy walks through the emotional and relational realities many women experience after betrayal, helping men understand why rebuilding trust requires more than apologies or promises to do better.More importantly, he lays out the non-negotiable do’s and don’ts of navigating betrayal trauma if a couple truly wants their marriage to survive—and eventually come out stronger on the other side. From the importance of radical honesty and consistent accountability to avoiding defensiveness and emotional shutdown, Jeremy offers a practical roadmap for men who are serious about rebuilding safety, restoring trust, and doing the slow, steady work required for real relational repair.To learn more about their coaching practice, NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/ To write a message, please use Jeremy@NeuroFm.comMusic for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.

Transcribe →Somewhere I Belong w/ Johnathan Rochford
Feb 2500:23:09Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Jeremy Rochford and Johnathan reflect on a weekend hockey tournament that quietly revealed how belonging is built—or broken—in everyday moments. The rink becomes the backdrop for a bigger conversation about inclusion: who feels welcomed into a space, who has to work harder to fit in, and how subtle social rules can make people feel either safe or on the outside. Through small, ordinary interactions with parents, kids, and staff, they unpack how belonging isn’t about being invited into the room—it’s about being able to show up as yourself once you’re there.The conversation moves beyond sports to explore what inclusion actually looks like for neurodivergent families in public spaces: the unspoken pressures to “blend in,” the exhaustion of masking, and the relief that comes when someone slows down enough to notice what another person needs. Jeremy and Johnathan share practical insights for creating environments where people don’t have to perform to be accepted—whether that’s in a rink, a workplace, a church lobby, or your own home. It’s a grounded reminder that belonging isn’t created by policies alone, but by the everyday choices we make to see, include, and make room for each other.To learn more about NeuroFam, please check out https://www.ourneurofam.com/ To send us an email or question- shoot a message to Jeremy@NeuroFm.com Music for the show’s intro is provided (with permission) by Matt Langston & EleventySeven.You can check out their awesome stuff here - https://www.eleventysevenisalive.com/ Music for the show’s outro is provided (with permission) by Sean Rogers & Shineunder.
