In your view, why has the conversation around loneliness in neurodivergent adults been so quiet for so long? Why do you think that is?
6:04
I could take the first stab at it.
6:07
I mean, I'll, I'll take it from, of course, the lens of being a mom, because you know, Kai, my son, Jesse is 21 and he's autistic.
6:14
And I think there's so many things that you need when you're a parent or when you're neurodivergent and you think of the basics, you want your therapies, you want to learn how to talk.
6:25
You want to learn how to be independent.
6:27
You want to learn all the social cues.
6:29
And I don't want to say that mental health gets ignored, but I think it falls to the wayside because you're in this rat race to try to just keep up and stay afloat and have milestones.
