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.

I'd love to see her fall into that same thing. And I don't know that that necessarily means she's going to become a writer. She may be become a painter, she may become a computer programmer or something else. But I want to make sure that she does what she wants to do.

You know, I'm there for her to help guide her through those more difficult things, you know, the things that she doesn't understand where she has problems. I can be a guide for that.

I speak to a lot of parents. And one of the reasons why I do stuff like this is just to try to get that word out there. I'm fairly successful. I've got a good career. I'm doing what I love to do. I'm 53 years old at this point. So I'm kind of on the other side of that.

So if you're a parent and you've got a two-year-old that isn't speaking or a two-year-old that's banging its head against the wall on a daily basis, you're trying to figure out how are we going to get through the next 16 years of this? How are we going to raise our child? For them, it's helpful to see somebody like me, somebody that has gone through it and it's gotten to the flip side.

So I try to talk to parents about that sort of thing as much as possible.

Yeah. But the thing is, you know, some of the most successful people in the world are autistic or were autistic, you know, so sometimes it helps to seek them out and, you know, figure out how they got there.

No, I think that that's basically it. I mean, if you've got a child that you recently received a diagnosis on, get out there, research it, understand what you're dealing with. It's not a bad thing. You know, autism has given me, you know, like my wife had said, superpowers. You know, like I'm doing something that I normally wouldn't be able to do without it. Your child will be able to, too.
