You know, my batteries are completely depleted and I need to recharge. So like in this case, when I was on that airplane, I basically slept the entire flight back because I was completely exhausted from what I had done the few days before. That's never changed. And I'm pretty sure at this stage, it's probably not going to.

So when I'm in a public situation and I'm forced to put on that persona, you know, to deal with those social situations, there are repercussions. There's a, you know, there's payback for that.

Yeah, I mean, any typical person can go to a party and have fun, right? They can chat it up. They can have conversations. They laugh at the jokes. It's an entertaining, fun experience for them. For me, it's really not. I'm there. I'm mimicking what I see other people doing. Somebody tells a joke, and I'm laughing because other people laugh, not necessarily because I thought that was funny.

Again, that's not something that has ever changed, and I don't think it ever will. But that takes energy to do that.

Yeah, it's very, very difficult for me. And I basically want to run away, you know, and go to the corner of the room somewhere. But I've taught myself over the years not to, to just stick it out and try to deal with it.

It's really through mimicking, right? You know, it's like I smile when I know I'm supposed to smile. I laugh when I know I'm supposed to laugh. But those aren't necessarily true emotional reactions. They're me flipping a switch.

I think we're just going to keep a very close eye on everything. You know, like I mentioned, she's very good at math. She's not quite as good at reading and writing. So we're focusing on that. I'm keeping a real close eye on what she likes to do. I'm blessed to be able to do a job that I absolutely love. Like I would do this for free and I get paid for it.
