In this first episode of the SEND IT Summer Series, Claire tackles the myth that “neurodivergent people are bad at communication.” She explores how ND communication isn’t a deficit — it’s a different communication culture built on clarity, honesty, and directness. Claire shares her own experience of being told she was “too blunt” and the impact of shrinking herself to fit neurotypical expectations, noting: “I got smaller, I talked less, until I didn’t recognise myself.”
The episode breaks down the science behind communication differences, why workplaces often mislabel ND communication as “bad,” and how miscommunication is usually a mismatch — not a failure. Claire offers practical reframes, including sharing preferences openly (like adding them to a Teams status: “I have included this on my Teams status at work.”).
Listeners are invited to notice one moment this week where they communicated clearly in their own way — and celebrate it. A short, warm, myth‑busting episode reminding us that difference isn’t a deficit, and ND communication is brilliant, valid, and worth recognising.
