What happens after the system of masking collapses? For many, it feels like the end, but Dr. Marshack argues it is actually where the real work of the relationship begins.

In this episode, Dr. Marshack shares a profound letter from Richard, a NeuroDiverse husband in his 70s who has embraced his "EMD 0" status not as an excuse, but as a starting point for genuine growth. You will learn the 7-Step Interface Protocol, a roadmap designed to help both NeuroTypical and NeuroDiverse partners navigate the aftermath of a collapse.

From building resilience to becoming "Empathy Triad Engaged," this episode provides the vocabulary and the framework needed to move from transactional behavior to a rebuilt, authentic life. As Richard reminds us: "Autism is not an excuse."
