1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: I need a parallel universe. It's one more.

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: Thing I'm strong, and one more thing.

3
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 3: Before I get to why I need a parallel universe.

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 3: I just got a text from a friend of mine.

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,280
Speaker 3: He is a retired grown man in his sixties who

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 3: said he hates sissy men who are at he's at

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 3: the airport. Apparently he hates sissy man who show up

8
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 3: at the airport in pajamas and slippers.

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: Amen, man up, men, Yeah, I agree, dress.

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 3: Like a grown up for crying out loud.

11
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: I get it.

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 4: When you're in high school. You know, we used to

13
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 4: like walk around in pajamas and stuff. But when you're

14
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 4: like a grown man doing that, that's weak.

15
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:50,480
Speaker 3: You know, look, harmless trends are armless trends, But pajamas

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: even in high school, put on yeah pants a college

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 3: Chinese attack. I live in a college town. Ninety percent

18
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 3: of the college kids I see are in their pajama.

19
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,959
Speaker 1: Well, the ninety percent of them need to man up

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: and pant up.

21
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not saying I'm footing the women.

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:06,960
Speaker 1: It's popular.

23
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 5: Yeah.

24
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 2: Yeah.

25
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 3: To the why I need a parallel universe, I think

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 3: this is interesting. We've talked about this before, and you've

27
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 3: had a comment about it, Joe, which you'll probably repeat here.

28
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:18,680
Speaker 1: Starting.

29
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 3: I'll start with this, and I almost never work this

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 3: side of the street about autism and kids' mental health problems.

31
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: But this is from the Washington.

32
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: What's the one that Byron York works for? Free Beacon

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,199
Speaker 3: or Washington Times. I can never remember one of them.

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 3: Diagnosis rates of autism among children have more than tripled

35
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,319
Speaker 3: over the past fifteen years. We know that one reason

36
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 3: which Minnesota's welfare scandal has laid bare with shocking details

37
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: is Medicaid fraud and abuse. Now we've been talking a

38
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 3: lot about the Minnesota thing, and in particular, they're fraud

39
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: which might.

40
00:01:58,800 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: Lead the nation.

41
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 3: Medicaid pays health care providers big bucks to diagnose and

42
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 3: treat children with autism, sometimes tens of thousand dollars a

43
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 3: month for a single child, yet states rarely verify that

44
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: kids were diagnosed actually meet the medical criteria for the disorder.

45
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 3: So if you put down that you've got an autistic kid,

46
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 3: nobody confirms it or not. Apparently he's quoting Alicia Finley's

47
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 3: piece in the Wall Street Journal. Yeah, or they get

48
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 3: appropriate treatment from qualified specialists. You don't have to one

49
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,839
Speaker 3: confirm you got a diagnosis, or two show that you're

50
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: using the money for any sort of treatment or anything

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 3: like that. The results have to get lots of money.

52
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 3: Children covered by Medicaid or the government run children's Health

53
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: insurance program are two and a half times more likely

54
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 3: than those with private coverage to be diagnosed with autism. Now,

55
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: I suppose you could tease it out and have some

56
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 3: reason that kids with private coverage are less exposed to

57
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 3: plastics or cell phone towers or whatever the hell we

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 3: think causes autism. You know, I had a thought pop up,

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,080
Speaker 3: but then I corrected it. I was thinking, well, maybe

60
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: the uh and this is not my point of view,

61
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 3: but I'm just expressing it. Maybe the greedy, selfish private

62
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 3: insurance companies refuse to pay for treatment. But then no,

63
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 3: it's it's just diagnosis, it's not treatments of any kind.

64
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 3: Two and a half times more likely to be diagnosed autistic,

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: the final sentence being many lower income kids are labeled

66
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 3: autistic merely because they have behavioral or developmental problems. And

67
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 3: that's kind of actually what I wanted to get into.

68
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: So people always say, well, you know, is there more

69
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 3: autism or did we just used to overlook it and

70
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: not called anything. There's some of that, of course, but

71
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: that's not the vast majority of it. And I've talked

72
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: to people who researched this for a living. It's not

73
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 3: even close to explaining where we are.

74
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: And if you've.

75
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: Had kids in the modern world, you know there's way

76
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: more kids with way more problems that ever existed.

77
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: When you were young, depending on your age. I mean,

78
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: it's just it's just a fact. And this leads me

79
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: to what I really wanted to talk about. Is this.

80
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 3: So a woman who knows grown woman with kids, she

81
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 3: brought this, She said this the other day, just offhandedly.

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: She actually has four kids, three of them autistic, three

83
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: autistic boys, one of them severely autistic. Wow, she said, well,

84
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 3: you're clearly on the spectrum somewhere to me, He said

85
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 3: what She said, Oh yeah, yeah, I can diagnose it

86
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: from a mile away. You're clearly She said, you're obviously ADHD.

87
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 3: I assume you know that, and I said no, I've

88
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 3: never thought about it. For a second. She said, you're

89
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 3: clearly ADHD and you're probably almost certainly on the spectrum

90
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 3: of some sort I thought, wow, that is I've never

91
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 3: even thought about this before. That's really interesting, which gets

92
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: to my whole parallel universe thing. I don't know if

93
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: I am or not. I'm a sixty year old man

94
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: who's been relatively successful in my life, has lived. I'm

95
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: not sure it makes any difference at this point, but

96
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 3: if I would, I would love to go back in

97
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 3: a parallel universe and have me diagnosed with something, age whatever,

98
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 3: put in maybe special classes, maybe given medication, whatever goes

99
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: along with it, and see how I would have turned

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 3: out versus ignoring it my whole life.

101
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: I'll be fascinating.

102
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, I've long fantasized about, you know, just seeing

103
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 3: that because it's such an intriguing question. I think for everybody,

104
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 3: what if I had taken a left instead of a right?

105
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 2: Uh huh, you know, career wise.

106
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 3: You know, the partner wise, just one hundred things, how

107
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 3: would that have played out.

108
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,920
Speaker 2: It's just so intriguing.

109
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: We specifically on this medical thing.

110
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 3: It is the question of now, if you're severely anything,

111
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: obviously you need to diagnosis in probably some sort of

112
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 3: either therapy or medication. But if you're that mild version

113
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: that a lot of kids are, are you better off

114
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 3: never being told that you have some special reason to

115
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,119
Speaker 3: be not paying attention or struggle in life.

116
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: I think so, I would think so, like I.

117
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 3: Wasn't told I have any special reason too, even though

118
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: some woman just told me the other day I do.

119
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 3: Are you better off just thinking, God, I suck at this,

120
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 3: I better work harder. Wow, that's that's a really difficult

121
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 3: question to answer simply say. Yeah, I'd say, I mean,

122
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 3: it depends, obviously, as you indicated, on.

123
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: The severity of the situation. Yeah, there's something.

124
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: To be said for figuring out like I did, because

125
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 3: I one hundred percent would have been diagnosed in school

126
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 3: with ADHD.

127
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 2: It was just way, way too slow for me. It

128
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 2: made me insane.

129
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 3: Do you think it would have been helpful to you? See,

130
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,239
Speaker 3: that's that's where it starts to get really complicated. Yes,

131
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 3: in a way, but it would have routed me in

132
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 3: a different direction than the one I took, which has

133
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 3: ended up being really interesting and fun and you know,

134
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 3: difficult at times, certainly. But I don't know what are

135
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 3: the downsides to medicaid. You have to incorporate that into

136
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 3: your analysis. Yeah, no doubt or upsides that. Maybe you know,

137
00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 3: I've never had medication of those kinds. Maybe if I

138
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 3: ever had some medication. I don't know that I do

139
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 3: have any of these things that this woman said I have.

140
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 3: But if I did or do, and I'd taken any

141
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: medication where all of a sudden, oh wow, this must

142
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 3: be what it's like for other people to try to

143
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,559
Speaker 3: pay attention. Maybe it would have been awesome, But knowing

144
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 3: my personality, I think it's much more likely that i'd

145
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 3: have had I got an excuse, yeah for not getting

146
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 3: my ass done?

147
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: Well, I can say shit, it's a podcast. I got

148
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,239
Speaker 1: an excuse for onion my shit done. Finally, my ship

149
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: has come in.

150
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 3: I don't know if i'd have done that or not,

151
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 3: or if kids do that. I have no idea to

152
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 3: that point, and I don't have it readily in front

153
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 3: of me.

154
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't think.

155
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 3: But there's now a growing awareness that the fact that

156
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 3: like two thirds of all college students claim to need

157
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 3: special dispensation to take tests or whatever, it has become

158
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 3: completely unworkable. They're having to figure out what to do

159
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: now because it's just become idiotic. Everybody's got a special

160
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: need now. But if I was told I had something

161
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 3: when I was eight, with the exact same life I've lived,

162
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 3: personality I've lived. How much would that bore into my

163
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 3: mind of reason why I can't do this or I

164
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: shouldn't be held to a standard for that. I don't know,

165
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: but it would have to have an effect, Katie, look

166
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 3: like you wanted to say something.

167
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 4: Well, a friend of mine realized that she was having

168
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 4: a lot of trouble concentrating and she got diagnosed with

169
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 4: ADHD I think when she was twenty six, and then

170
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 4: they gave her medication and she stopped taking it because

171
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 4: she said it totally messed with my personality. It changed

172
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 4: who she was. So I wonder if that would happen

173
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 4: as a child. You would most people like that with

174
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 4: me if it totally changed my personal.

175
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 3: She's ah, no comment. So a young man I know

176
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 3: who is thirty two, thirty two, thirty three, thirty three,

177
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: who looks a lot like me, but it's taller, recently

178
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 3: got saw a doctor about ADHD problems because he suspected

179
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 3: that he has that, and indeed got medication number one

180
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: and it messed with him and was bad.

181
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: Medication number two.

182
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 3: Is great and he's thrilled, really really happy about it. Interesting, Okay,

183
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: he says he can he can focus on things for,

184
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 3: you know, thirty seconds at a time and not three

185
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 3: seconds at a time or even longer than that, and

186
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: it's just made all the difference in the world, which

187
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: is interesting because nobody who's known him since the day

188
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: he was born.

189
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 2: Realized that was going on, and neither did he.

190
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 4: What made him realize it?

191
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 3: Like self awareness. I think that the more you live

192
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: and the more you experience, the more you realize. Wait

193
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 3: a minute, other people seem to do this easily, and

194
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:02,359
Speaker 3: it's making me insane.

195
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,959
Speaker 1: Wouldn't that be crazy?

196
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 3: If I figured out at age sixty a little tweak

197
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 3: here there, and all of a sudden, I can do

198
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 3: various things that I've struggled with my whole life, That'd

199
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: be nuts.

200
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: I don't know that I'm going to seek that.

201
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: Out, and the last thing I need is to go

202
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 3: down that road at this point. But I have no idea,

203
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 3: and I don't want to respond to emails and texts

204
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 3: about not believing in medication or diagnosis because I'm a

205
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 3: million miles from that. If you've been listening to the

206
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 3: show for a long time, I have a kid that's

207
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: got all kinds of stuff and all kinds of medications,

208
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 3: So I am on that train. But do we do

209
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 3: it more often than we need to?

210
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: Almost?

211
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 2: Certainly? Yes's true. Isn't that a one hundred percent Yeah?

212
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, any responsible commentator would tell you that about the

213
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 3: And part of it is the pathologizing of little boys,

214
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: how the need to get up and move and have

215
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 3: lots of energy and you need to tire them out

216
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 3: before they can sit still. Is somehow that's that's a condition,

217
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: it's toxic maximlinity or.

218
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 2: And that's obscene. God, it makes me just so angry

219
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 2: to even think about.

220
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 6: Ugh.

221
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 3: I wish I could actually run that parallel universe experiment

222
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 3: with you know, me or anyone else where one you

223
00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 3: tell them they've got an excuse, and one you don't

224
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 3: tell them, and see which turns out better.

225
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: I don't actually know.

226
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it would probably very kid to kid.

227
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 3: Here's a strong statement. I have not evaluated this statement

228
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 3: for its effectiveness. Side effects include diarrhea, pounding, headaches, and

229
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 3: eye bleeding.

230
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: Erections more than four hours, Oh, erections last for four days?

231
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?

232
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 3: Oh? My god?

233
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: How am I supposed to sleep?

234
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 2: So here is my strong statement.

235
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 3: That sort of revelation would hit with people roughly like

236
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 3: all obstacles hit with that person. Some people see an obstacle,

237
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: they lay down and quit and blame it for the

238
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: rest of their lives. Some people think, nah, all right,

239
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 3: that's what I gotta.

240
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: Deal with, and they deal with it. It would be

241
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,359
Speaker 2: similar to like most setbacks.

242
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 1: I don't know.

243
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 2: Again, I just that's off the top of my head.

244
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: I don't know.

245
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 3: I really really don't know. It's my wheels have been

246
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 3: turning turning ever since this person said to me, Oh,

247
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 3: you're obviously on the spectrum.

248
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: You don't know that?

249
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 5: Like what?

250
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,079
Speaker 2: Really? Yeah?

251
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 5: I would have been offended myself.

252
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, they thank you.

253
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: I think I should have thrown a punch or something.

254
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,079
Speaker 2: Oh, totally, haymaker, I wouldn't be offended by that.

255
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: Really, if you told your boss I know you're yelling

256
00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 5: at me, but you're only doing it because you're on

257
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,680
Speaker 5: the spectrum, that's not gonna go well, for.

258
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 6: Instance, Yeah, yeah, oh, I don't think I am, but

259
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 6: I don't actually.

260
00:12:56,160 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 3: Know on and so are a lot of the geniuses

261
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 3: that have done all the genius stuff throughout history.

262
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: So I'm not I'm not that either.

263
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I'm sure they as coming out any second.

264
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: Yeah.

265
00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 3: You know, what's an really interesting question is should you

266
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 3: investigate it now?

267
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I've been thinking.

268
00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 3: I mean, I do have social stuff that is outside

269
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: of the norm. I think, yeah, oh yeah, you are

270
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: as am I, but not quite as far down the

271
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 3: road of anti social you know, just being an introvert

272
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: social anxiety. I'd rather get in a fistfight than have

273
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: somebody hug me, for instance. Yeah, yeah, that's that's kind

274
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 3: of spectromy Yeah.

275
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: Spectromy What else goes with that?

276
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: I wonder? Oh gosh, it's it's it's a grab bag.

277
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 3: Do I get special parking spots or anything? I mean,

278
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 3: I'd look into it. If I get to like park

279
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: closer to the store.

280
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 4: Do you want a placard?

281
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: I want a placard. I want a tax deduction.

282
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: I got real bad ah adhd. Sometimes I wander off

283
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 3: and I can't find my car because I can't concentrate.

284
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 3: So I need to park in the first six spaces.

285
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: Please?

286
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 3: Do I get to board first in planes? I mean,

287
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: what else comes with this?

288
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: If I? If I go ahead and pursue.

289
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: This, but then you can be with people longer. A

290
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 2: fast pass, last pass of the theme park.

291
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 3: See here's all kinds of things that are gonna come.

292
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 1: Let me in. Imagine mountain, Let me in, Let me in.

293
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: I have the ADHD. I can't focus right. I'm barely

294
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: on the spectrum. Give me something, Give me something.

295
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 5: You know, the placard'd be handy during the holiday season,

296
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 5: during Christmas shopping. I'm just saying, Jack, Well, I guess

297
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 5: that's it.
