This definitely rings true to me! When I was young, I assumed that there were “problem children” from dysfunctional families. As long as I was a good, loving parent, my own kids would surely be OK. I was in for a surprise when my son reacted to school pressure and alienation (by teachers and students) by lashing out. Dropping out of school helped a lot, but he's still trying to find his place in the world six years later. A sense of belonging and purpose is missing for so many young people.

As someone diagnosed as an adult when I first got a mostly-WFH email job — I’d love thoughts on how to apply this to adulthood as well!
