Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults with Caroline Maguire

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Caroline Maguire, M.Ed., ACCG, PCC.  Caroline is an internationally recognized expert in social-emotional learning, ADHD coaching, and relationship development. She is the author of the award-winning book, "Why Will No One Play with Me?" and the forthcoming "Friendship Skills for Neurodivergent Adults" (Balance Books, April 14, 2026), and hosts "The ADHD Social Playbook" podcast.

Caroline talks to me about her new book, Friendship Skills for Neurodiverse Adults.  We discuss:

• Approaching making friends as a skill
• Improving her book by listening to the cynics 
• Reading the room you’re in & the room inside yourself
• The 3 Ps of friendship
• And how third places and joining activities helps us make friends
