Description
For many autistic and neurodivergent children and young people, friendships can feel especially complicated. You might want close friendships whilst also needing space and quiet. You might worry about being left out, misunderstand social situations, feel overwhelmed by group dynamics or find yourself masking to fit in. This workbook was created to help you explore friendships in a safe, gentle and neuroaffirming way.
Inside this workbook you will find opportunities to:
- Explore different friendship styles
- Understand your feelings
- Think about boundaries and communication
- Reflect on challenges
- Learn about online safety
- Celebrate neurodivergent friendship strengths
- Build friendships that feel safer, healthier and more supportive for you
This workbook is not about changing who you are. It is about helping you understand yourself, your needs, your feelings and the kinds of friendships that help you feel safe, valued and accepted.
