I will have 2 entering middle school this fall. Both very different. The oldest has an autism/adhd diagnosis. I’ve often described this as “it’s like im speaking English, and she’s speaking Chinese. And the two of us don’t understand what the other is saying /asking / needing.” Thank you for this.
Ooof this one hits really close to home. Thank you for putting your thoughtful and perfect words to this experience. Fortunately, as we age, we get to put down the knife and become the salve. You are so right, it begins with listening and learning their language.❤️

Sending you all the patience and love I have.
