Living in a neurotypical world, we have to deal with many grey areas, nuances and contextual situations. This can be challenging for children who are neurodivergent, such as those with autism. On the show, we dive into why autistic children struggle with repetitive, dichotomous or catastrophising thoughts, and why we should try to adjust our understanding of their needs, instead of forcing them to change the way they see the world.
