Thank you very much.
I was not at all pleased. But sadly, I was not surprised because he has had a habit of of saying things that I feel are very ignorant and uneducated, or sorry, uninformed is the better word there.

Yes, exactly. And I've been in situations where in the past, my social skills were not as developed as they are now. So through experience, I developed my social skills to the point where they are now.

James, what about you? Oh, yes. Of course, everyone has limits. That is correct. And I will confess that some of my limits, not all of them, but some of my limits may perhaps be related to my autism. But I have been able to, I believe to say overcome those limits is not proper terminology, is not a proper way to word it.

But I have been able to minimize those limitations, to live with them or to, no, I'm sorry, to work with them, to work around them. Yes, yes. And I certainly must say that the idea that people with autism are incapable of driving vehicles, paying bills or living independently is completely false. I have, I've had my driver's license for 20 years since I was 17.

I pay, I paid practically all of my own expenses. And, um, I, I, I, I work a 40 hour per week job with benefits. I've, I've held steadily since 2017. And, um, Other than the fact that I still live with my parents, I believe myself to be quite independent, self-sufficient. And the fact that I still live with my parents is due to factors that are beyond my control.
