Neurodivergent teens experience social, emotional, and cognitive growth differently during adolescence, which can complicate their development. Conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and others significantly impact how they engage with the world. While neurotypical teens typically navigate social situations with relative ease, neurodivergent teens may find these interactions challenging. Early identification and support through evaluations, structured environments, and necessary accommodations are crucial for helping these teens thrive as they face transformative changes during adolescence.
Neurodivergent teens may struggle with reading body language, maintaining eye contact, or understanding unspoken social rules. They might appear blunt, overly literal, or disengaged.
Identifying neurodiversity in teens can be challenging because adolescence brings mood swings, shifting interests, and changes in behavior, complicating the support they need.
Early evaluation, structure, and school accommodations are critical for helping neurodivergent teens thrive during the transformative period of adolescence.
