  1. 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.

    1. 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.
