This was eye opening, educational and engaging! I am glad the research into understanding how we humans function is taking on this direction. I would love to know the impact on those classified as 'Neurodivergent' and what one can do inorder to develop coping strategies! Great episode!

This was such an informed and well researched interview. The discussion on empathy was very good and timely. Thanks also for a unique perspective on the age old question of difference between male and female brains. Very interesting. Thank you for sharing!
