This happened last week during TestBash Spring. It was during a talk by Karen Todd: ADHD and Me: How Neurodivergence Boosts My Testing. She said, "Growth still happens when we're broken, and it can be beautiful." The talk was courageous, thoughtful and altruistic. And it touched every attendee. Some could see themselves in Karen. And for some, it was an exercise to better understand what it means to have ADHD, anxiety and depression. We were invited to reframe our assumptions and turn them into superpowers. When the talk recordings go live in the coming weeks, I encourage you to watch and listen. They'll appear on the [TestBash Talks Playlist page](.
