Scared. Exhausted. Completely out of control of what was happening to my body. In the middle of all of it \u2014 a nurse walked in and asked if I wanted a blanket. It sounds small. It wasn't. Because in that moment, someone was asking what I needed. And I couldn't stop thinking about how rarely that happens... especially for neurodivergent kids. We tell them to use their words. We say, "Come to me before it gets to be too much." But when they do \u2014 when they say it's too loud, the clothes are itchy, I can't handle the cafeteria \u2014 too often what follows is a sigh, an eye roll, a "you'll be fine." They learn to say they're fine. They mask harder. They stop coming to us. This episode is about one simple, radical thing we can do differently. Ask. And then really listen. I'll share what this looks like in real life \u2014 real examples \u2014 and what to do when your child, student or client says "I'm fine" or "I don't care" (because that's also a sign).  \u2764\ufe0f Holly, The Mom\/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S.
