Well, for me, the reason she pointed it out, I was doing something called cluttering at the same time. So somebody would ask me a question and I would get three to five different answers to that question would all pop up in my head at the same time. And then I would try to verbalize all three to five of those answers all at once.

So what should have been five different sentences basically got all mishmashed together and came out, you know, like this word vomit. And that was why she brought it up. She basically taught me to, you know, slow down the conversation a little bit, grab just one of those answers out of the air and just verbalize one of them rather than four or five of them all at the same time.

But, you know, it still happens with me. Like when I'm excited about a topic, I tend to talk really, really, really quick.

Yeah, that's exactly what happened. I mean, it was something that I had been doing, you know, all along, but never really realized it. I just, that was my norm. That was just the way things was. But until she pointed it out and said, hey, you're doing this, you know, I didn't realize that I was actually doing it. But, you know, at that point, we basically created more or less a pro and cons list.

You know, here are the things that are negatives that we should try to work on. Here are the things that you should focus on because autism, you know, not only did it have negatives, but it also had some pretty strong positives. A lot of the things that I was able to do in the corporate world, a typical person may not be able to do.

What I do today, you know, writing books, like, I mean, you can see my desk behind me. It's more or less empty. But I'm working on eight different books right now all at the same time. And they're up here. They're in my head. Like, that entire structure is there. I used to write computer code.

If you write any type of computer code, when you write that first sentence, you have to understand how it's going to impact the last sentence and everything in between. Writing a book to me isn't different. It's another pattern that I see and I'm able to recognize.

My wife calls those superpowers, you know, like we basically, the autistic, the good things that came out of it, you know, we focused on those.
