Lesson Overview

18.21 – Understanding Neurodivergent Social Experiences: For those with ADHD, autism, or other neurodivergent traits, socializing can feel like decoding an invisible language everyone else learned early. You might overthink cues, miss subtext, or feel drained after interactions. Remember, your brain simply processes differently—it’s not wrong, just wired uniquely. Find allies who appreciate your directness, creativity, and honesty. Communication works best when expectations are clear and kindness is mutual. Instead of masking exhaustion behind forced smiles, advocate gently for your needs—like taking breaks or preferring smaller groups. Inclusion grows when people understand that diversity includes neurodiversity, too. When you stop apologizing for existing differently, you create safer spaces for everyone to show up authentically. Your way of connecting adds needed variety to human interaction.
