Quotes:

• "When we talk about empathy, it's not just going to some training program and and just not a check mark that you get for yourself, but it's really about understanding the other person and how the other person operates"
• "We're not machines. We have beautiful minds and sometimes we need a little bit of a break to have maintenance work done.
• "I was a quiet rebel, I never spoke up, and I didn't know my own power, my own inner strength."
• "It's so important for the neurodivergent community to shut those negative comments off because they'll keep coming. It's up to us to build that that wall, that boundary, that fort around us, because we cannot control other people. We cannot control how people behave, but we have power within ourselves to move to an environment that respects us.
