Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 293: Catherine Newman on How Kids Can Learn Social Skills and Ways to be a Good Human · 14 Jun 2022 podcast

You can now be a queer kid in a rural place where you don't know anybody queer, and you can have an online community that makes you feel as unalone as you've ever felt in your life.

And that is absolutely life-saving.

There's I can't think of anything more important that the internet could be doing.

But they know that the brain chemistry, when you release dopamine, when you release oxytocin, all the reward system is really geared towards in-person relationships.

So and that's true.

I love to say this.

That's true even for introverts.

So I'm an introvert.

I'm an uh like whatever.

I've I've been diagnosed as like an outgoing introvert, whatever.

Even for me, what makes me feel good is human interaction.

Do I need to then like go lie down with the cats for five hours?

Yeah, maybe.

But what is protective of our mental health, what is in fact the thing that gives us the will to live is in person human interaction.

And I think that's a worthwhile thing to actually explain to kids, to be honest, like just be transparent about it because

There is science to support that.

It is a fact.

It was a very multi-pronged approach.

We did a lot of crowdsourcing.
