When Needs Collide: Running a Mixed Neurodivergent Household
A household can contain several reasonable needs that cannot all be met in the same room at the same time. One person wants to move and talk after school. Another needs quiet before they can answer a question. A parent needs to cook, a younger child needs supervision, and the only calm room is already occupied.
This is not a puzzle with one correct neurodivergent routine. It is a practical problem involving people, space, time and limited adult attention. The useful starting point is to describe the particular clash, then decide what can happen separately, what must be shared and who needs a turn first.
