Uh there's a really beautiful
uh film that just came out on uh the ASAN, uh the the group for autistic people that is run by autistic people.
And it's uh nonverbal autistic people discussing
their thoughts and feelings and experiences.
And they're so underestimated oftentimes.
They just don't people don't see what's going on inside.
Especially, you know, even if the person is able to mask and and sort of pass as as quote, you know, a typical person in the world, uh, what's going on behind that mask is oftentimes really painful, really a huge struggle just to get through an emotional
conversation can wipe them out for days afterwards.
And and I don't think people realize the it's the same thing that we know about two E people that the giftedness compensates for the disability.
And so the disability is often hidden.
And that's very true for 2 EA people.
If they're able to s do the masking successfully
people may not have any idea of how hard they're working just to function in the environment.
So, you know, for example, somebody at work
sitting in a meeting gets called on to, you know, make a comment.
And they've been expending so much energy just to focus on all the multiple conversation at the table that they're not able to say what's on their mind.
And so this brilliant thought that they might have five minutes later, the time is missed to be able to communicate it effectively.
And they often don't feel like it's okay to say,
Give me a minute, you know, this is part of my disability.
I want to respond, but I need a few minutes.
