Miscommunication and misunderstanding can result from a mismatched style of communicating!

 

Life can be incredibly frustrating for individuals who cannot effectively communicate their thoughts or needs.

The Contract for Communication includes five agreements for each communication partner. The first set of agreements is for the neurotypical communication partner and the second set of agreements is for the communication partner with ASD. Each of these two groups of communicators has its own general characteristics, assumptions, and quirks, which is why it is necessary to have a unique set of agreements for each group.
