Attachment and Relationships with Jason
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’t beneficial for that relationship, like “How social are they?”
What if instead we asked, “Does my loved one want to interact with others?”
With their needs in mind we avoid imputing our own desires onto them, which frequently causes them to spiral down a negative path.

- Why self-reflection as a mentor is important
- The benefits of differentiating between your needs and your mentees needs
