"•  Comprehension: Before:  If you wanted me to pay attention, understand something, or even acknowledge it, you would often have to repeat it several times.  I would misread or misunderstand things more than the average person.

 After:  I understand most communication right away, including the emotions and attitude of the other person, which were often not even on my radar before.

 •  Interpersonal Communication: Before:  I was very likely to interrupt others.  I wouldn't wait for others to speak before continuing my conversation.  I came across as very harsh & critical. After:  I'm better at engaging in appropriate give-and-take in conversation.  I communicate in a much appropriate friendly tone.

Dealing with adversity:

Before: Even trivial matters would provoke a negative reaction, ruin my mood or trigger impulsive/disruptive behavior. I’d get down on myself for minor mistakes

After: Even when things don’t go the way I like them to go, I handle things in a much more mature, measured way. When something goes wrong, I’m more likely to laugh it off than I used to. I’m more even keeled, less likely to fly off the handle."
