While autistic children might have slightly different ways of making friends, they are perfectly capable of making friends and even nurturing friendships.

On the other hand, I watched many non-autistic children having some difficulties with making friends.

Yes, my neurodivergent child is experimenting with a new wig again and I love it!

Self-expression is a fundamental need for each of us. Validating it is deeply connected with feelings of confidence.

Neurodivergent children must feel that you validate their self expression.
