Finally, a guide that doesn't ask us to mask! Caroline Maguire provides a respectful, science-based roadmap for navigating social hurdles without losing yourself. The practical scripts for starting conversations and managing social anxiety are absolute lifesavers.

The "chunked" layout is perfect for the ADHD brain, making it easy to find exactly what you need. If you've ever felt "socially awkward" or overwhelmed by friendship, buy this book!

As a 30-something neurodivergent woman, a lot of the advice in this book was really valuable.. I would have liked to see more concrete examples of how to do the suggested things.

This is a caring and thoughtful book that can really help some adults with neurodivergence, especially if they feel anxious, avoid social situations, or aren’t sure how friendships work in the first place. It offers validation and helps remind you that you're not alone on this journey, which can be very meaningful.

That said, I want be upfront. While the title promises a broad guide for all neurodivergent folks, the advice and examples mostly focus on those who find it tough to jump into conversations or connect with others. It has a clear way and communication way of laying things out and a genuine intention behind it, which is awesome. But the tips are tailored to specific experiences of neurodivergence, so it might feel a bit niche if your friendship challenges are more subtle or different.

Overall, it’s a really good read for the people it’s aimed at—so if that sounds like you, I think you’ll find it helpful! Like the book says, "Take what feels right and leave the rest."
