A story + skills workbook for kids who miss social cues, feel confused by people, or worry about fitting in.
Some kids notice tiny details that other people miss, but social situations can still feel confusing. A smile might not match someone’s tone. A joke might sound serious. A sarcastic comment might feel impossible to decode in the moment.
Some People Don’t Get It, and That’s Okay helps kids understand social confusion without shame. Through Kasiah’s story, kids learn that needing support with social cues does not mean something is wrong with them. It means their brain may need social information explained more clearly.
This workbook blends storytelling, emotion recognition, social decoding, self-advocacy, and neurodiversity-affirming language to help kids build confidence while still honoring how their brain works.
