Quick Conversation Starters for Neurodivergent Kids

Tired of asking “How was your day?” and getting “I don’t know”?

Inside you'll find:

• Sensory-based conversation prompts
• Strategies for asking about the day later instead of immediately
• Examples of vague questions and more specific alternatives
• Bonus prompts you can keep in your back pocket
