Yeah.
And I I think it's cool that, you know, when we started, we were all in our own little silos.
You know, you and I have been doing this for a long time and and it's so cool to see those silos connecting and we're starting to have this interconnected
support system which is
It's crucial and wonderful.
Yeah, when I started writing the book, you know, it got a little wordy to kept keep saying
you know, twice exceptional adults with autism.
And so I thought, well, I'm just gonna coin a new term because you know, you know, they we've got the G three and all these other new terms.
So I just said, I'm gonna I'm gonna coin the term two EA and and I don't mean it to be labeling or disrespectful in any way.
It was really just for ease of writing and reading.
But I do think that people t can see that there's a subset of being twice exceptional that is specifically a twice exceptional
person on the spectrum.
And there are some specific needs related to being a two EA person.
Yeah, well, so they they have sort of some of the common things you hear about autism of the the sensory to the environment, uh some of the social language s uh struggles.
A lot of them have gut problems are pretty common.
There can be issues with working in an environment or schooling in an environment that has uh external stressors.
A lot of times, uh, people on the spectrum, their their nervous system is at a heightened state all the time.
And then you combine that, so those are also common traits with two E people who might have ADHD or dyslexia or, you know, it it tends to go along with two E.
So those those can be common traits.
But when you talk about a two E person who's autistic, it suddenly becomes their the giftedness is often hidden.
