What books have helped your neurodivergent children, clients, or students feel seen and understood? Let’s build a list together.” To the right of the text are two small illustrations: – One is a cheerful bee wearing glasses and reading an open book. – The other is the logo for Communicating Together Therapy & Wellness Associates, which features two hands forming the shape of a heart. Inside the heart—set against a yellow background—are four smaller hearts in blue, green, orange, and pink.
