Among the aspects of their presentation that I appreciated most was how clearly they made the point that ALL of us, all of our brains, are very much alike but also unique. I think most students there would have heard and talked about a similar message before, but I&#8217;m sure all of us could do more to get to know and understand each other better.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, they left us with a very practical tool in their 7 friendship tips. While the tips may have been created with certain needs in mind, they provide good advice for all of us to use in all of our friendships &amp; to help build our communication skills. I&#8217;m wondering what thoughts or question others might have about today&#8217;s presentation, about how our brains and experiences are different, about how to practise self-regulation when we&#8217;re over-stimulated (or under-stimulated), or about friendship in general.
