LtCdr Gemma Winterton is the Vice Chair of Royal Navy Infinite, which is the Royal Navy’s network that advocates for Neuro-Inclusivity. She is Neuro-distinct and has a formal diagnosis of dyslexia.
My Neurodiversity 'superpower' is that I am empathetic and can hyperfocus on areas when I need to. I have great visual perception and I am good at conceptualising complex ideas.
My biggest areas of weakness are my working memory and processing speed. This means that I can be forgetful about things like names and I have to work hard to remember new or unrelated information. I also sometimes struggle to express myself in writing.
