There were so many times as a kid I just felt like where is the person who's gonna like stand up for her and help us find the right next step rather than like refer her to some other specialist.

You know, I just remember like hearing his voice in the writing and being like, Wow, I have had this question my entire life.

Why does she behave this way?
