Yeah, I mean, that’s a hot topic in 2021. I think 99% of people believe diversity is important, I’m just going to say that. It’s how you get new ideas, it’s how innovation happens. I’m a little bit neurodivergent. There’s a term that’s being used right now, because I think very circular, I’m not very linear.
You know, when I took tests that were like, I remember taking Mensa tests when I was a kid, because I was known as a pretty—I don’t want to say gifted, but I was known to be pretty academically and intellectually inclined. I was taking all these tests, and they would always wonder why I could answer those really quick, because I could do brain teasers.
Now that was great in that world, but you know what was really bad? I couldn’t say a straight sentence to a teacher. And my teacher would always tell my parents, “Andrew has reading comprehension issues.” And it was because I have a little bit of ADD, which I now found out actually, as an adult.
So, those small things made me more neurodivergent. Where I think I wasn’t typical for like somebody who would go to a good school, because I would not read the same speed, I read very slowly. But I can read dense things very quickly, if that makes sense. So, I like complex ideas, but I don’t like simple ideas. So, those small things, I feel like, to me, are also diversity, which nobody talks about.
