A revolutionary way to approach the challenges of making and maintaining meaningful friendships.

There is an assumption that good, worthwhile friendships should come easily. However, for neurodivergent adults, friendship can be hard. From differences in the parts of the brain that are vital to managing the logistics of a fulfilling social life to difficulty with self-regulation, the way neurodiverse individuals experience social bonding and connection can feel unintuitive.

Written by a social emotional learning expert, Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults is a guide to navigate these differences, broken into three parts:

How friendship works

How to find your people

How connecting will get you in motion

Each part offers simple, science-based, practical advice including scripts, tips and strategies to combat loneliness and help you find the belonging and support of lifelong friendships. By the end of this book, you will feel less alone, and have the tools to understand the unique way you can approach friendship.
