Have you ever been part of a conversation or been in a situation where you feel like you are missing something? Where it feels like everyone else knows what's going on except you?

This week's podcast/YouTube episode with Dr. Michelle Hu dives into what it feels like to ALWAYS feel that way. Michelle grew up hard of hearing, and describes her social interactions as 'swiss cheese' with information constantly falling through the holes. 

We talk about what it feels like to experience the social world this way, how it led Michelle to learn how to 'mask', and I share tons of strategies for helping our kids understand the social world a bit better.
