Whether they are autistic, have ADHD, dyslexia, OCD, or a learning difference, understanding their communication needs will not only help you to support them, but could also create meaningful neurodiverse relationships. I will describe some common traits in neurodivergent communication and ways you can create an inclusive environment.
