I am neurodivergent, it often takes one to understand another. I really enjoy the skills that come with being neurodivergent in particular for creativity, problem solving, making connections, seeing things that others do not see and not being afraid to be a compassionate system disrupter for the benefit of visual neurodiverse students.
