  • Totally agree. There’s a lot in this seemingly simple topic.

    Its often hard to unpick the differences that come from neurodiversity compared to the impact of living in a world that is often hard and even cruel to people who are seen as different.

    Consequences of that is things that sound easy or simple rarely are.


  • Speaking as a psychotherapist, I wanna point out that almost no one “knows” what to say in a conversation.

    We’re all making it up as we go along and that’s what most people enjoy about them.

    Often the challenge is giving yourself permission to say what you want to say.

    When people say “I don’t know what to say” what’s often meant by that is “I don’t know what I should be saying”

    If you can get past the idea that there’s a right thing and a wrong thing to say, conversation can happen organically. This takes practice sadly, and means getting it wrong sometimes, and that’s okay too.
