So I do comedy art lectures and what I discovered there is I became what's known as a high status comic when I was talking about my special interests. Because I'm passionate. I'm talking as, you know, with my autism first. It's like, this is what I'm interested in. And, you know, people love these. They're really popular. And I love doing them. And I feel good on stage.

And I'm like, this is me being autistic. It's me, like, being funny as a, you know, without masking. And in my comedy, though, when I'm trying to explain myself and go, you know, like it's very hard for me to do observational humor because, like, I'm not looking at the same things as everyone. It's just like, you know, you know what it's like.

And people are like, no, no, what you're speaking of is not familiar. So you have to do a lot of explaining. And then so in that I folded in a lot of masking and then that becomes confusing as you get older and more mature and you like who you are. You're just like this is not a true representation of how I see the world or how I think people, you know, like I'm softening myself.

You know, I'm apologizing. I'm like, hey, it's weird that I'm like this, isn't it? And they're like, yeah, it is. And then eventually I just broke. I said, you know what? It's not. It's weird that you don't notice that people are different. And that very much informed my desire to stop being self-deprecating because I just wanted to be autistic.

I just wanted to go, hey, I've got some stuff to talk about and whatever feelings you have about what this is, you need to get over it because I've got things to say. And that is part of the reason. The other part of the reason is, come on. Like why, particularly women, why do we have to put ourselves down in order to speak in public? It hasn't changed.

I still get all the hate mail that you want, like take a pic. Like men have been trained not to like women who speak their mind in public. It's a thing. We're not going to change it soon. We're going to have to grin and bear it, but I may as well grin and bear it being confident. Yeah.

Fast Money Round.

Yeah, well, she said this thing. She's like, I'm really proud. I like impersonating my mum. I'm really proud that I brought my kids up without religion. I really am because I've raised five children with minds of their own. I'm really proud of that. And I'm like, well done, you mum. You pat yourself on the back. Good on you.
