My wife is an SLP (Speech Language Pathologist) and a very damn good one at that. She is also neurodivergent, and she often comes home with excited stories of her being an autism whisperer because she's getting words out of nonverbal autistic clients, or getting way more social response and rapport with verbal or nonverbals and parents are shocked. I'm so proud of her and the work she does, I couldn't love her more.
