160 // Neurodivergence in Friendships, with Caroline Maguire

Today we are joined by author, mom, and social coach Caroline McGuire. She shares her personal journey with late ADHD diagnosis and how that shaped her work supporting neurodivergent adults.

Caroline discusses her book, Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults, and why direct, specific guidance matters.

Topics include the impact of late ADHD diagnosis for women, practical strategies for making and keeping friends (including “communi-splation” to explain needs), the power of interest‑based connections, troubleshooting friendship pitfalls, and the value of virtual communities. Caroline also addresses stigma, mismatched expectations, and self‑advocacy tips listeners can use right away.

Enjoy!
