Human nature leads us to naturally impute our own needs and understanding of the world on others, but is this best method of developing a relationship with your neurodivergent loved one?

We often ask questions that aren\u2019t beneficial for that relationship, like \u201cHow social are they?\u201d

What if instead we asked, \u201cDoes my loved one want to interact with others?\u201d

With their needs in mind we avoid imputing our own desires onto them, which frequently causes them to spiral down a negative path.
