Looking for ways to build stronger connections with your neurodivergent teen? 💛

1. Schedule time to spend together, like you would with a friend. Start small if that’s easier.

2. Let your teen choose the activity and follow their lead, this can be a great time for them to teach you something!

3. If your teen isn’t suggesting anything, ask about their special interest or latest hyperfixation.

4. Focus on being active and enthusiastic in your participation; this is about the relationship, not the activity.

5. This is not the time to correct or give advice (unless specifically asked). Let mistakes go!

Small, intentional moments of connection can make a big difference — and your teen will notice.
