Description

Getting Freaky in the Spreadsheets: Negotiating with Neurodiversity takes a fresh approach to consent, communication, and negotiation by recognizing that traditional methods don’t always work for neurodivergent individuals. In this educational class, Board-Certified Sexologist and AASECT Certified Sexuality Educator Lilithfoxx examines how neurodivergence can influence communication, sensory experiences, emotional regulation, and decision-making within BDSM, kink, and intimate relationships. Through practical tools and neurodivergent-affirming strategies, you’ll learn how to make negotiations more accessible, collaborative, and effective while honoring everyone’s individual needs and boundaries.

Features:

• Understanding Neurodivergence in Negotiations: Examine how ADHD, autism, and other forms of neurodivergence can influence communication styles, processing time, sensory preferences, and approaches to consent and negotiation.
• Creating Accessible Negotiation Frameworks: Learn how to adapt traditional BDSM negotiation practices using written agreements, spreadsheets, checklists, and yes/no/maybe lists to accommodate different communication and processing needs.
• Navigating Communication Differences: Develop strategies for expressing desires, establishing boundaries, asking clarifying questions, and reducing misunderstandings when partners have different communication styles.
• Addressing Emotional and Sensory Considerations: Explore how sensory sensitivities, rejection sensitivity, masking, executive functioning challenges, and emotional regulation can affect negotiations and discover ways to create more supportive experiences.
• Building Collaborative, Consent-Centered Agreements: Learn practical approaches to establishing expectations, discussing limits, planning accommodations, and revisiting agreements as needs and circumstances change.

Whether you’re neurodivergent, have a neurodivergent partner, or want to make your approach to consent and negotiation more inclusive, this class provides practical tools for navigating kink and intimacy with greater clarity, confidence, and mutual understanding. You’ll leave with adaptable strategies that recognize there is no single right way to communicate, negotiate, or experience pleasure.
