E65: Reciprocation

Milo is eager to connect with his peers—kids he's just met on the playground, his sisters and cousins, his classmates. In therapy, he's working hard to practice peer-to-peer interactions and conversations. But even when he does everything "right," his efforts aren't always reciprocated.

Sometimes kids don't understand him, or don't want to engage. He may be oblivious to the rules of a new game, even while eager to join in. He may be laughing and having the time of his life with a group of kids, unaware that some of them are wary of him.

These moments are hard to navigate—but they happen all the time. So today, we're talking about them.
