Autistic Loneliness: Why One-Sided Conversations Drain Us

In this episode, I unpack autistic loneliness, one-sided conversations, and how the absence of depth and curiosity affects us all.

In the first episode of "Lov(ette) or Leave It with Lovette Jallow," I tackle what autistic loneliness really means. For me it’s not about being physically alone but about sitting in a room full of people who don’t meet you with the same curiosity or care you offer. I share personal insights on one-sided conversations, societal norms around emotional labor, and how these dynamics impact neurodivergent people.

This episode is for anyone who’s questioned why some relationships feel draining while others nourish. Let's talk about setting boundaries, prioritizing mutual care, and what it means to create spaces that truly value us. Navigating life as a Black Autistic woman with ADHD ( AuDHD), I bring a unique perspective to neurodiversity, intersectionality, and redefining community care.
