What I Wish You Knew Poster Series
A neurodivergent teen’s invitation to be seen, heard, and held with care.
This poster series gives voice to what many neurodivergent teens feel but rarely get to say out loud. Each one is a window into their inner world—a mix of insight, emotion, and everyday truth.
 
Created as part of the Beyond the Labels project, these posters share 9 powerful “lamp posts” that support identity, belonging, and self-esteem. They include what neurodivergent teens may sound like, look like, or feel like in each moment—plus what they need, how to hold space during resistance, and why it matters neurologically.
 
Use these in classrooms, therapy spaces, hallways, homes, or wherever teens show up—especially when they’re quiet, misunderstood, or trying to stay safe.
 
Let this series remind all of us:
“We don’t need to be changed. We need to be understood.”
 
Perfect for: families, educators, counselors, youth workers, and anyone committed to creating spaces of emotional safety and authentic belonging.
