Can you come back to me?
Because that's just not accepted, right?
People don't do any of the most simple, benign compensation so that this person can fully engage and show their brilliance.
So it's a mixed bag.
Like there are some people who knew from a young age what they were and and how to
Uh
either embrace or reject themselves because there were both.
And there are others who just never understood why life didn't work for them until they were an adult.
And some had diagnoses professionally, some self-diagnosed, which I also fully embrace and support.
Um and and they started on this journey of like, oh, this explains so much.
Now I understand why this is this way for me, or why I never fit in, or or why I struggle so much, or why I'm exhausted all the time, or you know, why my health is impaired.
So, um, and even some of the people that have known they were 2 EA from a young age, they still discover a lot more as they become adults because oftentimes parents um, and you know, we're both parents, so we understand this at a
very deep level, there's a societal pressure to
make your child conform so that they can fit in, they can have friends, they can be successful at school.
And so all of us at the most well-meaning parents in the world put that pressure on our kids early on and we don't even realize we're doing it because we're not fully aware ourselves of what those societal pressures are.
And a lot of times it takes your kid to just stop functioning or to be a major behavior problem or, you know, have
Yeah.
deep depression or something like that, before we go, hey, wait a minute.
What is the quality of our child's life right now?
And what can we do to make it different?
