In a family where more than one person is neurodivergent, communication differences can be a real source of friction — not because anyone is doing it wrong, but because people genuinely need different things. Some people need time to process before responding. Some need things written down. Some find eye contact harder. Some need more or less direct language.
This checklist is a tool for mapping those preferences across your whole family. Everyone fills in their own — including children and other caregivers — and then you share and compare. There are no right or wrong answers. The point is simply to understand how each person in your family communicates best, so you can find ways to work with those differences rather than around them.
