November 27, 2025 Traffic Lights, Wedding and How to Ask Important Questions
In this episode I am looking at the importance of considering the audience. How do we ask important questions? Are we aware of our neurodiversity and others when we do?

This is covered with a life example from the time that I asked a friend to be the witness of my wedding, before I knew that I had ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and how the experience went. I bring the analogy of traffic lights to explain the importance of empathy and context.
