Not anymore? You can resolve Asperger's. You maintain the pattern matching abilities, but you lose the downside of it. I had to retrain how my eyes see, how my tongue moves, how my ears hear, and how my body moves. I'm still working on some functional movement. And I had to retrain my brain to recognize things like faces. It was a lot of work. Most of my 30s were that.

Yeah, I'll explain the why, which I think will be the answer to your question. If you have autism or Asperger's, a part of the autism thing, some people don't like the name Asperger's. I don't really care. I don't like whatever their name is either. Sorry, guys. I identify as being triggered right now.

I love it. Okay. When you have autism like that, there's two things going on. One, your mitochondria don't make enough energy. And two, your nerves, your sensory input, they have static on them. So when you're a little baby, you're trying to make sense of the world. Like, is that light important or not important? Is that vibration and that sound important or not important?

and you're like a little large language model trying to figure out what's good, what's not. But when you don't have enough power for your central processor, which is the mitochondrial problem, and there's static on everything, the brain becomes hyper-efficient,

but it ignores a huge amount of the data because it can't sort it out from the chaos from all the static so there's static in your eyes i didn't have peripheral vision i did not know how to see peripherally until i was in my 30s and i worked with a developmental ophthalmologist and i just did an episode with bryce applebaum on vision training and i learned how to see in my peripheral vision because my brain's like i don't need that data to live so i was seeing in tunnel vision and i didn't know it

My left eye was turned off half the time because it was too much work for my brain to make him go. The brain will make these incredible sacrifices on your perception of the world just to make sure it can function.
