The Social Skill That Protects the Mental Health of Autistic & ADHD Kids

When your neurodivergent child, client or student faces social rejection, how do you protect their self-worth while still helping them grow? Join Dr. Daniel Wendler and me, Holly Blanc Moses, for game-changing mindset shifts that support mental health. This isn't about lowering expectations or avoiding social situations. It's about teaching kids to measure success by how authentically they show up, not by other people's responses. We discuss why this approach actually leads to better social connections AND stronger mental health.

Whether your child, client, or student is struggling with friendship challenges, social anxiety, or that crushing feeling of "nobody likes me," this episode offers practical strategies you can use immediately!
