Cassandra Sister Diana
Cassandra Sister — For the partner who feels invisible—seeking truth, not blame.
I’m Diana Martin, speaking from the Cassandra perspective: a non-autistic partner in a neurodiverse relationship. Here we name the Cassandra experience—and go beyond the label—into loneliness, boundaries, nervous-system repair, self-worth, and recovery from toxic or imbalanced dynamics.
“Cassandra Syndrome” isn’t a diagnosis; it’s shared language to name feeling unseen. Many tools here help anyone loving through misunderstanding. This space is truthful, compassionate, and blame-free.
I’m not a clinician—I share lived experience (special-ed work, caregiving, chronic pain, divorce, a season in a Buddhist monastery). Expect real talk, practical scripts, and a little humor.
I’m the author of Lonely in Love and forthcoming Lonely in Truth — stories from neurodiverse relationships. We name what’s real and honor both partners.
