look back on January, I&#8217;ve gained so much exposure to observing how to better&nbsp;accomadate&nbsp;for the neurodiversity and person with disability community with our friends at standard chartered, University Putra Malaysia, Bridging hope and PERKESO&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>its also been really amazing to start working and collaborating on research in regards to learning more about neurodiversity&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Despite all the great moments I&#8217;ve had this month, I wanted to be honest with myself and reflect on the not so great moments too \ud83d\ude42&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>I&#8217;ve always thought that applying neuro-inclusive practices to real life situations is really straightforward until I truly observed all of the factors that need to be considered, the adaptions that needed to be made and even then there&#8217;s still a chance that things won&#8217;t be a right fit.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>My biggest takeaway is that to embrace and&nbsp;accomadate&nbsp;neurodiversity &#8211; we need to constantly keep learning.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>There&#8217;s always newer research coming out and after interacting with the neurodiversity community&nbsp;I&#8217;ve&nbsp;realised&nbsp;they&#8217;re&nbsp;always finding new ways to help.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>I hope to do the same \ud83d\ude42&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>I&nbsp;wouldn&#8217;t&nbsp;have had such an&nbsp;indepth&nbsp;experience without my supervisors &#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Shahirah Abdol Raman<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Mohd Ridzuan Mat Zin<\/strong>&nbsp;if they&nbsp;hadn&#8217;t&nbsp;exposed me to the real world in such a safe way.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>Looking forward to
