Gifted and neurodivergent people can struggle to make and keep social connections. These challenges stem from both biological (developmental asynchrony) and behavioral (intensity, cognitive rigidity) aspects. This presentation will explore the root causes behind social challenges in neurodivergent students and then explore some strategies to build the skills necessary to sustain healthy social relationships. Because a gifted person’s skills can get them many opportunities, but they will need to have social skills to keep those chances.
