Great interview. I think there can be a lot of misconceptions about introversion, but I like how Jennifer defines it as recharging alone or internally. Also, neurodiversity was a new concept to me. Looking forward to learning more about that.
Thanks Candace. Yes diversity is taking on even broader areas like personality and other preferences related to brain functioning. I am so glad to see this change.
