What autism does to you is it means that your brain is running on low power. And it means that all the signals that are coming in, like sound and light and touch and vision, even smell, it's like there's static on the line. So you're constantly struggling and striving to make sense of things. And you don't even have enough energy to do it if you had a normal nervous system.

But fortunately for me, I have high functioning and I come from a long line of scientists and inventors and deep nerds. So that served me. And I find myself when I'm 26... And I have weighed 300 pounds and I have struggled to lose the weight. I went to the gym 90 minutes a day, six days a week, religiously without fail for 18 months straight. I'm on a constantly hungry, low fat, low calorie diet.
