In this video, I want to talk about the importance of understanding each other&apos;s perspectives and finding ways to bridge differences, especially between neurotypical and neurodivergent people. Instead of imposing normal communication rules or encouraging masking, it&apos;s much more important to promote mutual understanding and empathy. You can choose your own communication practices and goals, and it&apos;s okay to be authentic to yourself. Some good goals are to learn how to express your own thoughts effectively, understand your rights, become self-aware, and advocate for the circumstances you need. Remember, it&apos;s important to understand the people you love and care for, but not at the cost of your authentic self.</description></oembed>
