#209 - Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Kids and Adults (Caroline Maguire)

Friendship expert Caroline Maguire joins me to talk about friendship skills for neurodivergent kids and adults. We discuss encouraging connection without forcing it, handling rejection, understanding the difference between acquaintances and friends, and finding environments where friendship can grow more naturally. Most of all, Caroline makes the case that building friendship skills doesn’t mean becoming someone else—it means finding the people who appreciate you as you are.

Special thank you, as always, to my assistant producer, Rebekah Jacobs!
