Making holiday gatherings more welcoming

Clinical psychologist Dr. Ben Morsa shares ways to help neurodivergent guests feel comfortable and included at holiday gatherings. Reach out to family in advance to ask what support would help and what they hope to enjoy, whether that’s time with cousins or a one-on-one visit with a relative. Since crowds, sounds and smells can feel overwhelming, consider setting aside a quiet space where guests can take a break and recharge.
