Welcome to this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning, where we are diving into a topic that’s becoming increasingly urgent: loneliness in children and adolescents. We’ve all experienced loneliness at some point in our lives. However, for many young people, especially those with learning and thinking differences, loneliness can become a persistent and deeply troubling issue. It’s more than just a feeling; it’s a state of distress that arises when there’s a perceived gap between the social connections they crave and their actual experiences.

Our brains are hardwired for connection, making social interaction a biological necessity. Yet, for neurodivergent children and teens, the lack of meaningful connections can have even more profound effects. As we explore in this episode, loneliness isn’t just an emotional issue—it’s a health crisis that requires our immediate attention.

Ultimately, combating loneliness is about more than just addressing the symptoms; it’s about creating environments where all students feel connected, supported, and valued.
