When twice-exceptional siblings try to educate family together

My sister and I are both twice-exceptional adults and we're trying to help our parents understand why family gatherings are so overwhelming for us, but every conversation ends with them feeling attacked and us feeling misunderstood. We thought presenting a united front would help but it's just making them more defensive.

What we've seen

Two neurodivergent adults are struggling to bridge the understanding gap with neurotypical family members without creating further division.
