A hundred percent.

Of course.

And one of the things that really cracked it for me is sort of exploring.

So at the moment, I'm going through the process of an ASD diagnosis on top of my bipolar diagnosis, which is difficult because there's a lot of, it's more difficult than straightforwardly coming forward and saying,

I think I might be autistic, but I've never been diagnosed with anything before.

So it's a long process.

It's a long process, but the arrows are pointing very firmly in one direction, which again has made a lot of sense of the way I understand things and also just mistakes I make with people.

And

Someone said to me, after one of the performances at the Globe, someone once said to me, oh, I just don't understand how you do it.

And having begun the process of the autism diagnosis, I suddenly went,

Oh, yeah, of course you don't.

Because I was like, yeah, because you're operating on a different software.

And the number of times I have seen people who I know to be gregarious, charming, socially agile.

Oh, thank you.

but and this might be less good get up to do like a speech at a wedding right and be like physically shaking yes and fumbling stumbling and fumbling over their words and I'm like but you're like the Fonz like how are you struggling with this whereas I like

famously can't make eye contact with people when I'm talking to them just don't like trying to have a normative conversation with someone I have to put in place things in my head where I'm like remember not to say something too weird that puts them off very early on and try and have a normal conversation with them first but then I can go up and I can just go up and do that and it's like that to me like Pierre describes it

as like the second you're up there doing it, it's like all that external noise and all the sort of doubts and all that sort of just goes away and everything makes sense for a minute because in a way you're sort of not yourself anymore.

That's why I love acting and I love particularly playing people like Falstaff

or like Hamlet where you dig deep into things in you, but you just aren't you anymore.

So it's like the best of all worlds.
