Major life events like moving, family changes, or loss disrupt the stability that neurodivergent children depend on for emotional regulation. Their difficulty with abstract thinking and future planning can make it hard to understand why changes are happening and what to expect. The emotional intensity of life events, combined with changes in routine and environment, can overwhelm their coping systems and trigger significant behavioral or emotional responses.
Life events are inevitable, but their impact on neurodivergent children can be minimized through structured support and preparation. Without explicit guidance, these children may struggle to process and adapt to major changes, leading to prolonged distress and difficulty functioning. Research indicates that preparation and support during life transitions reduces trauma and builds resilience for future changes. Early intervention helps children develop coping strategies they can use throughout their lives.
