For many neurodivergent and 2e or “twice exceptional” kids, misunderstood social cues, complex peer dynamics, and hurt feelings can quickly turn into conflict or isolation. In this episode, Elizabeth Smith unpacks what is really happening beneath these interactions and how parents can guide their kids through them with greater clarity and understanding.

Elizabeth discovered the evidence-based PEERS program from UCLA’s Semel Institute. After obtaining certification, Elizabeth conducted further research into best practices for affirming neurotypes and strategies to avoid masking and forced behavior.
