Why does it feel like I missed the “rulebook”?
You’re not alone if conversations feel confusing or unpredictable - like everyone else got a manual and you didn’t…
Social communication is full of unspoken hints, cues and “rules” created by society - and we all interpret these differently.
Maybe you find yourself:
Wondering what you’re “supposed” to say
Struggling to pick up on sarcasm or jokes
Feeling exhausted from constantly trying to “decode” others
Worrying you’re coming across as “too blunt” or “too much”
Here’s the thing…
Everyone has their own communication style.
The “rulebook” isn’t universal - it’s shaped by “neurotypical” expectations, culture and personal experience.
A Speech Pathologist can help you:
Understand the hidden “rules” of social interactions
Find strategies that work for your communication style
Build confidence in conversations
Understand and honour your communication preferences
Navigate misunderstandings
Build meaningful relationships
Communication isn’t one size fits all.
Speech therapy can help you navigate the social world on your terms.
