Summary
Dr. Lutza Ireland joins us during Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month to discuss a neurosmart edition on how to love, live and work better. Have you ever wondered if someone really cares about you? Ever been told that you are ‘too much’ or ‘not enough’; maybe both? Tried so much it hurt, yet the feedback was ‘if only you tried harder’? Diversity in how people think, feel, and communicate means we often misunderstand each other, despite best intentions. Dr. Lutza will introduce vital upgrades to the metaphorical ‘user guide’ to help navigate neurodiversity.
