Ep. 75 - The 5 Love Languages of Neurodiversity

Regulated & Relational

In this episode, Julie and Ginger share the Five Neurodivergent Love Languages from @neurowonderful.

Info dumping. Sharing information about topics that excite you and that you have an interest or passion in and sharing them in detail and length.

Body Doubling/Parallel Play/Sharing Space. When people do separate activities with each other, they are not trying to influence each other's behavior.

Seeking Support/Support Swapping. Helping each other look out for themselves in small ways.

Deep Pressure. Finding a way to be grounded physically through pressure and weight

can alleviate stress.

Penguin pebbling/gift giving. This is when an ND person shows another person affection by offering them little objects, like trinkets or even memes.

Listen in as Julie and Ginger discuss that the Five Neurodivergent Love Languages are a Tool for EVERYONE!

Share these with the children in your care to open dialogue about how we see and value each other and how we can better connect and understand each other. It can be a very effective way to increase communication and inclusivity.
