Negotiation, persuasion and the art of influence from a neurodivergent perspective

I work in communications so I am fascinated by the art and science of negotiation. I’m also neurodivergent and find humans incredibly challenging subjects to understand.

People rarely say what they mean and the majority of information transferred in a conversation is done so via a layer of dense, overlapping, non-verbal cues.
