Yeah, so twins run in our family as well as a condition known as fragile X, which is a lot like Down syndrome. It's a genetically inherited form of neurological impairment. And I always like refer to my childhood as growing up Schwartz because it was just so like chaotic and funny. But it was also during a time which special needs was more of like, you were kind of an outcast. You were shunned.

very efficient with how to handle it they didn't even know what to do like now it's just light and day they from the get-go you're really taught a trade as opposed to back in the 80s the 70s 80s it was just like he was doing it was just not that great they had a special ed class but it wasn't as what it is today um but i would also think that that time of growing up when things were a little less when people were a little less empathetic especially kids younger kids

Well, there's just this crazy incident that happened when I was six. So I'm six. My twin brother and I are six. The younger set is three. And I'm giving the younger set a bath. Why a six-year-old is giving three-year-old twins a bath? This is the 1970s, everybody. So this is okay back then.

And I was like the mother's helper. And I felt like these were my little baby dolls and you only put the water six inches high, whatever. And I'm playing patty cake with Michael. And I, you know, I always preferred playing with Michael patty cake. Cause Steven is motor skills. Weren't there. Believe it or not. I can remember that.

But I turned to play patty cake with Steven and he was just laying on the side of the bathtub. And I didn't understand what was going on. I was like, Steven, let's play patty cake. And he was not responding. So I called downstairs and my mother came up, my father came up. It ended up being a big scene. What my brother had was a seizure.
