The Unspoken Language: Social Cues & Contexts - Reading Between the Lines (C2)

Welcome to an exploration of The Unspoken Language – the world of social cues, non-verbal communication, and the often-unwritten rules that govern social interactions.

So much of human communication happens "between the lines." Facial expressions, body language, tone of voice, and the subtle nuances of different social contexts convey a wealth of information. For many neurodivergent individuals, deciphering this unspoken language can feel like trying to read a book in a foreign tongue without a dictionary. It can be confusing, exhausting, and lead to frequent misunderstandings.

This section aims to demystify some of these elements, not by promising to make you an expert reader of cues (as that's a complex skill with varying degrees of innate ability), but by increasing your understanding of what these cues are, how they might be interpreted differently, and offering strategies for navigating situations where they play a big role.
