[diversity] neuro diversity observations post RIPE 78

Dear all,

I was still thinking about this, as I did speak in public several times (TTM updates long time ago, chairing NLUUG sessions) and I think the thing that got me off balance was hearing myself through the PA system. I also have a bad time with bad phone connections in where I can hear myself talking.

Maybe it could be a part of the mentoring program / newcomers introduction to live test the mic in a more relaxed environment, so one gets comfortable with the acoustics.
