My Badges
💪Skills and Strengths
My Neuro-exceptional talent
My autism and ADHD allow me to hyperfocus and treat what I need to get done as a puzzle to solve. My hyperempathy and history of being bullied for my differences allows me to be in tune with others' emotions and be understanding of their needs.
