you know, encouragement sometimes, but it's like, Oh, you're fine.
It's not that loud in here.
We'll get through it.
You know, that's like really invalidating to a person's experience.
So again they begin to doubt themselves.
They start to like
disconnect sometimes even from their body.
Like their body is still responding, but they're masking how hard it is because everyone around them is saying, like, it's no big deal.
You should just be fine with this.
Can I say one more thing that derails the interception experience?
Compliance approaches.
Like so behaviorism.
And this is, you know, rampant everywhere, uh even in parenting, but
Compliance approaches condition us to ignore our body's needs in order to please other people.
Day in and day out, all of us are subjected to these compliance approaches, but neurodivergent kids are some of the highest people that will be exposed to compliance approaches on a daily basis.
And like, oh, sit still and get your token, even though their body's saying, I need to move in order to do well in school, you know, conditioning day in and day out to ignore the body to please other people.
Yeah, so I'll give you some of my favorite like practical strategies.
So, first for caregivers, I encourage you if you feel safe enough to do so.
to start talking out loud about the way your body feels.
Just putting that interception vocabulary out there, modeling that your body is important to pay attention to, doing so in a way that emphasizes inner differences.
