Welcome to the Code to be podcast. We talk to people on their coding journey in helps of helping you on yours. I'm your host, Ron, and today we're talking about neurodivergence with a familiar voice we had on season 23. Frankie Nicoletti, VP of Engineering at Solo Funds.

All these things are good for everyone.

Listening to people when they give you their needs, good for everyone.

and we got a chance to talk about Frankie's tech journey. So for this episode, we're going to talk about neurodivergence. Does that sound good

to you? Let's do it. All righty. So can you define what neurodivergence means? Yeah,

neurodivergence is super interesting. You'll hear a lot of people talk about neurodivergence, like plural, versus

neurotypicals, but actually I think there's so much we don't know about how the brain works.

And I would imagine that everyone's brain is actually a little more different from the quote-unquote norm.

Maybe there isn't a norm that exists. But most commonly, when you hear people talk
